Most people either got a degree that's useful (and work in that field), have parents that they live with, or they are in the service industry (bartenders, dancers, etc.) or military. They probably wore a condom or just got incredibly lucky and don't have to worry about supporting a family at an early age. They know how to save their money instead of blowing it on booze or going out every night.

My point is, a $35K car is not hard to attain before age 25 if you don't mess around with life and go get it done. It's people who don't think about their actions and consequences of them who have trouble trying to get nice things in life. Or if your calling is a low income job (nothing wrong with that), it may take longer before you can buy some things. You have to do what you enjoy, but there is a price for it sometimes.

I do not own a 370Z, as I bought something else (thus did not vote), but had I deceided to go with a 370Z, I would cast my vote at 25.

What I wrote was more of a joke and i dont know where you are from, but $35,000 at the age of 25 IS hard to obtain to drop on a car, unless you live with mommy and daddy still and were lucky enough to have someone pay for your education... But then again im sure its all about the variables of where you live. For me, cost of living is very expensive, gas is expensive, you cant have (or is extremely hard) to have only a 370z for a daily driver, especially in the winter. Let alone housing, expenses and trying to not be a hermit. If my option was to pretty much do nothing with myself or have a 370z, id pass on the Z and live my life...

you just must hate young people in nice cars. I saved and paid for my Nismo in 4 months, with no help from mommy or daddy. And I still have a life and other hobbies. So I think you should stop being mad at younger people that have gotten out there and work and go out there and get yourself a better job.

If you mean buying outright, I can agree. However, I would bet most people at age 25 are financing rather than paying cash.

Income usually reflects cost of living.

Where I live, I don't make all that much, but my appartment is only $405/mo and it's in a nice part of town near everything with low crime rates,etc.

I think overall the demographic is looking skewed towards the under 30 age group because of the high % of younger owners are more likely to go on the internet forums as apposed to the more seasoned owners , imho

48 and a happy to say I'm on my 3rd Z. in 1982, I had a '71 240, that lasted a year or so, in '09 I got a 350 it was fun, and now a 370... A blast to drive.

With all the folks under 30 and even under 25... and have this car.. wow. I am surprised. I also wonder of that crowd knows what its like to sit at a traffic light, smoking the tires at a meesly 2k rpm waiting for Green...

I was 21 when I bought my nismo. I just saved my money and deployed a few times and next thing I knew I was behind the wheel of my z.
