📖Generation guide
V37 Q60 • 2017-2022
The sole generation under the Q60 nameplate, featuring the VR30DDTT V6 in 300hp and 400hp Red Sport variants. Notably, the Red Sport 400 has become a collector favorite since its discontinuation.
Known issues by generation
The V37 Q60, while celebrated for its performance, is not without its quirks. Owners have reported timing chain stretch issues, particularly in tracked Red Sport 400 models, along with complaints about the 7-speed Jatco automatic's shift quality. The 2017-2018 models are prone to paint defects, including clear-coat delamination. Additionally, the Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) system, unique to this generation, has raised reliability concerns and high replacement costs. Owners should also be aware of potential turbo cooling issues and common infotainment system lags and freezes.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of your Q60 can vary significantly based on its condition and trim level. The Red Sport 400, known for its performance, typically holds the strongest residual values, often exceeding $5,000 when appraised under Section B of Form 8283 for low-mileage examples. Manual transmission models may attract a premium among enthusiasts, while AWD variants are increasingly appealing in colder states. Modifications can also affect appraisal values, with performance upgrades potentially boosting interest from buyers.

Alabama regional notes
In Alabama, the Q60 appeals to a vibrant community of tuners and track-day enthusiasts. With several local events and meet-ups, you’ll find a strong network of fellow sports coupe lovers. However, being in a salt-belt region, it's essential to consider corrosion risks on aluminum and composite body panels. Many enthusiasts keep their cars garage-stored, preserving their condition for the right moment to donate or sell.
