Age of 370Z owners?

mengel

Bought the 370Z when I was 36 and got my first Z, 300ZX when I was 16.

Well, as for me, I'm 54 could have retired 2 years ago but decided to save my butt off so that I could get my '11 Z Touring/Sports for myself as a retirement gift. It will be arriving this April and I'm retiring in May. I so can't wait to get it and baby it! Life is good!

Thats an interesting way to look at it, but no, i didnt lost anything. I have investments... and besides, I havent heard of anyone getting a 3% interest rate on their loan. Usually a bit higher for these cars from what I have seen... Who knows, maybe its different elsewhere...

I went with my bank (Bank of america) for the loan:

Bank of America | Please Select Your State

I think those rates are a bit better than they used to be when I bought my 370z in early july. I think the 72 month new car loan was 3.75%. I ended up getting another .5% off the APR due to the loan being over 30k so it dropped it down to 3.25% (just over 3%) so its definitely possible. Going 60 month would have been a bit closer to 3% and maybe saved me $500 or $800 or something? I forget over the life of the loan but it was worth that extra $500 to get another year to pay it off to me.

Meh. Can you really put a price on a couple of years without something you want enough to spend thousands of dollars on?

Im 30....

Geez...
Can any of you tell me you didn't see this turning into a discussion about youth, managing finances and entitlement?

Me? I was 40 when I bought my Z and it's my mid-life crisis car. I couldn't afford an F430, so this is what I ended up with.

I like 370zHawaii's chart. I'll play along too:
41-now - 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4
40-now - 2009 Nissan 370Z
39-now - 2006 Mercdes Benz C230 Sport (wife's)
39-40 - 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 (sold)
31-39 - 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport (traded)
31-32 - 1992 Yamaha FZR 600 (race bike - sold)
31-40 - 2001 Yamaha R6 (converted to race bike after one year - sold)
30-41 - 1989 Nissan Pickup 4X4 (sold for salvage - 100% used up!)
27-32 - 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse (wife's - traded)
27-now - 1992 Mazda Miata (project car, SCCA class winning autocross car)
21-27 - 1986 Cadillac Sedan DeVille (bought it off my parents after eating crow)
19-22 - 1976 Yamaha XS650 (sold)
19-21 - 1980 Honda Accord (sold to a salvage yard for what I paid for it)
18 - 1987 Toyota Corolla FX-16 GT-S (got it repossessed after moving out of my parents' house while I was in college)
17 - 1978 Dodge Diplomat (bought it off my parents)

Mine is the story of bad decisions and wrecked credit through my 20's, but I still managed to find a way to pursue racing sports as my hobby.
Take that for what it's worth.

So after talking to my old HS buddy who owns a 370z, we brought up the question, what is the average age of a 370z driver? We figured it will be much older than a punk 18 yr old ricer but we truly had no idea. Were both 31 now and are tired of the little kids and are ready to get out! Anyhow, I would love to hear the responses here and see the average age. I hope this topic hasnt already been raised, if so, I am sorry!
