I agree with what you're saying. Anyone with decent credit willing to take on huge monthly payments for 7 years can get into almost any car. Some of these loan terms are almost in mortgage territory. but I'm 22, i put 30k down on my 370z. 17 of which were from the sale of my altima. I think that's affording, not financing.

its wrong to generalize that an older guy shouldn't be driving a japanese sports car because they are for 'kids,' and its wrong to generalize that if a kid is driving a nice car that he's in huge debt or his parents bought it for him. Obviously, there are limits to these things. My detailer had an 18 year old kid bring in his 911 GT3. OBVIOUSLY his dad bought that (which is the truth). and on the other end, if some older guy is driving a corolla, yo don't know if thats his train station car or if thats just all he's got.
