How old were you when you bought your z

dopetime · 09-20-2011, 04:06 PM

I"M GONNA BUY MY OWN Z AT AGE 22!! when the 390z comes out!

WOW, look at those numbers! I guess the banks are laughing, because when I was in my 20's I couldn't afford a Z. Now that I'm an empty-nester (spending the kid's inheritance) and have no mortgage, I can pay cash (as I did).

Just can't believe how young most who own a Z are....

Just because someone is young doesn't mean they're financing it irresponsibly...I paid cash for mine.

Sorry, I should have rephrased that.... "most" "young" people don't have the financial "capability" to purchase a car of this value (and insurance to go with it!).

Probably fair. There's definitely a lot if people making questionable financial moves to drive the z...the z cars have always kind of been like that though, I guess.

Having a sports car when you're young reaps a lot more benefits than being able to pay for it in cash later in life.... jus sayin, it's true.

owning the Z young = ay ellin all day
owning the Z old = trying to stare at high school girls getting out of school (and failing due to the huge sideview mirrors)

I'm 24. insurance on mine is like 591 for six months with a few speeding tickets, but state farm also covers my house insurance so I get a discount on the car. I bought my first house at the age of 22. Just because I'm young doesnt mean Im not good with finances. My credit is amazing and I bust my *** working. It's all about finding ways for your money to make you more money. I do have to say it looks like most of the young crowed gets help from home.
