Just like the 350z or any nice, mid range "sports" car, most owners would be in their 30s to 50s the first few years that the car is released. After that the age starts to drop due to them being cheaper and cheaper.

Only reason I can say that is I watched it happen with the 350z. When I bought my old one in 05'. It was rare to see them still and most owners, not all, were at least 10 years older then me, stupidly bought mine at 22.

This is my 3rd Z. Im glad that everybody is enjoying their Z

All the best,

I bought my 370 (my 8th, and I bought my 9th at 47 an 86 GLL) at age 44. I'm now 50 and still have it, but its a dedicated track car now and I daily drive a Porsche and a Ram.

BrianMSmith · 04-26-2016, 09:32 PM

It's not a very expensive car, up to $40k with tax, but with only the two seats, most of us over 30 still need to have at least one other if not two other cars for the family, so I think plenty of older family men types like me get this car in their 40s. I'll be adding a 4th car to the growing family soon...well maybe buying a corvette or R8 and passing the Z down to the next teenager.

R8... oh dear

Jgghanem · 05-01-2016, 02:51 PM

23 here. Wanted a Z since I was 19, but only upgraded in the past month. Waiting on Nissan to release the 2017 or 2018 next-gen Z so I can buy that. They're taking forever though...

KrnAndy · 05-01-2016, 03:05 PM

I'm 20, paying off my own z as well!

jaedub · 05-01-2016, 04:38 PM

I believe location is also a key variable. Where I live, semi-hipster part of LA, I mostly see people in their 20s to 30s driving the Zs. I also see lots of women in their late 30s-40s. I got my Z when I was about 20 with the help of my parent's generous down payment. I took care of the rest.

nomodsjk · 05-01-2016, 10:05 PM

I bought my first z, the one i have now, when i was 30

markesc · 05-02-2016, 09:41 PM

I'm 38....

Love the Z!

bhandy · 05-02-2016, 10:25 PM

45, owned 2 audis, 2 corvettes (95&99), 944 porsche, father just bought a 2014 stingray vette. Cars in my blood, the Z is by far the best! Cannot beat it for the money and I love passing the 911 owners with a big grin. Past corvette autocrosser, NCCC racer. Will autox the Z too.

Spstone · 05-02-2016, 10:52 PM

31 for this one. I had a 280 at 17 and a 300ZX TT at 20. I love Z's though. Than again I've owned every thing from an '89 lotus esprit to a bagged, body dropped and shaved full custom '84 toyota hardbody. If it has wheels I can generally find a reason to like it and have fun with it.
