USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

The Infiniti FX was one of the first crossovers to genuinely drive like a sports car, and the US market remains the deepest source of clean, well-kept examples.

Model profile
The first generation (chassis code S50) launched for the 2003 model year as the FX35 and FX45. It sat on Nissan's FM platform, shared with the 350Z and Infiniti G35, and its low, coupe-like roofline set it apart from boxy rivals.
Powertrain and equipment
Early FX35 cars used the 3.5-litre VQ35DE V6 (around 280 hp); the FX45 ran the 4.5-litre VK45DE V8 with roughly 320 hp.
The FX is a five-door, five-seat SUV only — there was no coupe or long-wheelbase variant. American cars are typically loaded: heated leather, a Bose audio system, sunroof, and on higher trims the Around View Monitor, adaptive cruise, and the Deluxe Touring or Technology packages.
Vehicle selection
Second-generation FX35, FX37 and FX50 cars from roughly 2009 to 2013 are the sweet spot. Typical mileage runs from low figures on garage-kept examples to higher numbers on daily drivers; many Sun Belt cars (Arizona, Texas, Florida) are rust-free, which matters for a smooth TÜV inspection later.

Pre-purchase review
The VQ and VK engines are fundamentally robust, but there are known FX common problems worth budgeting for. Early VQ35 units can consume oil and suffer timing chain tensioner wear; keep an eye on oil level between services. Front suspension bushings and upper control arms wear on cars with big wheels and firm damping, producing knocks over bumps.
Germany and Europe
US-market headlights use the FMVSS/SAE beam pattern, which differs from the ECE pattern required in the EU, so they may need adjustment or replacement with ECE-compliant units for registration.
Typical work includes converting the headlights, fitting a rear fog lamp, confirming the odometer reads correctly (kilometres are accepted with mph documentation), and presenting original US paperwork.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes. USCar Trader manages sourcing, freight, customs and TÜV so the car arrives ready to register.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case.

Yes, the 5.0-litre FX50 was a US-market trim and is one of the main reasons buyers import.
Solid for a performance SUV; watch oil consumption, timing chain wear and suspension bushings.
Yes. Infiniti renamed the second-generation FX to QX70 in 2014.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Documented history matters more than the number; well-kept Sun Belt cars are ideal.
Shared Nissan mechanicals mean most service parts are obtainable through Infiniti and specialist suppliers.
