I am looking to buy my first car and I have saved $12,000.00. I want to buy the car listed above. How many miles do you think is too high for an Infiniti before giving problems?

I am also twenty years old.

It all depends on whether it is used or new and how you take care of it. If you do regular oil changes and filter then it will last if you do not and drive like an idiot then it will be harder on the car and cost you money.

Perform all engine and drivetrain services as specified in the owners manual while using top quality oils and filters. That car should last you for many years to come, enjoy!

Please let us know how the car does for you in the future.

Best, Ken

Just remember tires and brakes are considered normal wear. So heavy braking and hard cornering will wear these items quicker.
