Florida's Southeast climate adds specific inspection priorities. Southeast Florida's tropical climate means year-round heat, salt air from the Atlantic, and peak hurricane exposure, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on these QX60-specific areas: 2014-2020 cvt transmission issues and 2014-2017 slipping cvt recalls. A/C performance is non-negotiable — run the system for at least 15 minutes during any test drive in Fort Lauderdale and verify it blows cold consistently. Check the battery age (Florida heat kills batteries in 3-4 years), inspect all rubber components for UV cracking, and look underneath for any signs of flood exposure.
The 2014 and 2015 and 2016 model years have documented problems that cost more to fix than the purchase savings are worth. In Southeast Florida's heat, these issues surface faster than in cooler states. A QX60 from the recommended years costs $1,500-3,000 more upfront but saves multiples of that in avoided repair bills over two to three years of Fort Lauderdale ownership.
QX60 Ownership Costs in Broward County
Florida insurance for the Infiniti QX60 runs $160 - $245/month in the Fort Lauderdale area. Broward County rates are influenced by local traffic density, claim frequency, and uninsured motorist rates.

Florida's no-fault insurance system requires every driver to carry PIP (Personal Injury Protection) of at least $10,000.

Florida does not require bodily injury liability by law, but carrying it protects your assets in a serious accident.

Tips for Fort Lauderdale Buyers
Fort Lauderdale's active dealer market gives you negotiating power. Get quotes from at least three local dealers plus Tampa Autohaus, and use competing offers to drive the price down. High-volume markets respond well to informed buyers with pre-approval letters.
Get pre-approved for financing before visiting any dealership. Florida credit unions like Suncoast Credit Union serve members statewide and often beat bank rates on used car loans by 1-2 percentage points. A pre-approval letter sets your budget ceiling and shows dealers you are a serious buyer ready to close.
Fort Lauderdale's major metro area market sees steady QX60 inventory turnover. Good deals sell within 1-2 weeks, so set up alerts on major listing sites for the model years and price range you want. Being ready to move quickly — with pre-approval and a PPI mechanic lined up — separates buyers who get the best deals from those who watch them sell.
Florida-specific documentation to verify on any used QX60 purchase: clean title with no flood or salvage branding, current Florida safety inspection if applicable, complete Carfax or AutoCheck report showing no Southeast Florida flood zones in the vehicle's history, and proof of any remaining manufacturer warranty. Broward County tax rates apply to your purchase — confirm the exact percentage with the dealer before signing.
