Should I buy this used Infiniti QX56 -- it does need some work?!
My boss is willing to sell me his 2012 Infinity QX56 -- 156K miles -- he got a new car recently and has this one just sitting around. It had some check engine lights and AC didn't work so he ended up getting a new car since his was 10 years old anyway.
He will sell it to me for $2500 (and I don't have to pay till next spring).
But after going to get it checked out it needs two catalytic convertors (both are bad) -- that is the check engine light. They are quoting $2500-$3000 - they are really hard to find I guess.
It has some other stuff too - the AC needs a new motor, the spare tire won't lower and needs mechanism fixed, some brake work, oil change, windshield repalcement - all about $1000-$1500.
So with all that this makes the car more like $6500.
The blue book on this unit is between $10,000 and $12,000 so it's still probably a good deal right?
P.S. I am moving from a 08 GMC Envoy RWD with 116,000 miles. Needs new rear brakes, windshield, and wipers won't spray.
I need a bigger towing vehicle (which this is), I really need AWD or 4X4, reliability, and space for family.
Our budget is about $6500 - what makes this above vehicle nice is 2500 of that can be paid a year from now.

I'm not sure of your situation, but I would consider fixing and keeping the Envoy and saving my money until something upmarket is more affordable.
