ages of 350z lovers

ttipton · 08-16-2002, 08:00 PM

How old are most of you that have or are going to buy a 350z? I find it amazing, even as low a price that is on the car, That teenagers or twenty somethings are able to pre order or purchase this car on their own. Dont get me wrong...more power to you if you can or Mom and Dad buys it for you.
I guess my only concern is that this car has look to it that says ...I have made it in my business. It has a succesful grown up look to it like a european car. And so I hope that if young guys do buy it that they dont pimp it out like most of the Hondas that you see on the road. That would be a disgrace.

First car of this type!

Recent cars have all been Jetta GLXs.

I'm due for a change. This car is that change. A little concerned about losing front wheel drive.

Color: Brickyard

Model: Touring

Date: God only knows, when this car will be easy to drive off the lot.

Dan,
That is great! I think that it will be the perfect car for you.
I cant wait to get one myself.
When do you plan on getting one?

As soon as I can actually get just the one I want.

The buzz....and hype on this car, may make it difficult to drive away in, for months to come.

I was all ready to go for another Jetta. This time the GLI, which is a great car for the money.

But this new Z car, looks and reads like a lot of fun....at a price that is way below comparable vehicles..

Front wheel drive will be my biggest change.....and worry.

That is....rear wheel drive!

Snow.....and stuff!

There are plenty of people out there that are my age (25) that have developed a sense of appreciation for finer things. As a general rule, though, they dont get there with mommy and daddy buying them things.
I agree with your comment that the 350z is more like a self reward for people who have made what they feel is their mark. But that does not mean that they have to be 40 years old.
I started my own business 5 years ago with money that I built up from nothing. I got my own patents. I developed my own products. I even started some micro-trends. Now I have 3 employees working for me and 3 more products in development.
Chances are at least once a week you are in a store that has my products.
Sure I have played with thoughts of one or two modifications but all in the best of taste. One thing is for sure: the stock stereo just won't do...
I’d bet you knew that was coming. For the sake of preserving the image of the Z I can tell you now that I will not be installing some window shattering bass machine. I just want to make sure that that for those moments when all I want to hear is crisp clear music...not the road, or the traffic, (even with the widows down) all I have to do is turn it up. Maybe a little Stevie Ray or some Eric Clapton...
Yup, that’s right.... I'm 25.

31. My current vehicle is a 91' 240SX. My Enthusiast Z is due in Scottsdale, AZ in a month. It will not come soon enough!!!

ttipton · 08-20-2002, 01:41 PM

Whoa!
I didn't mean to offend you! I was just making a statement. That is great that you have your own business...most twenty somethings do not. I praise you for that. My biggest question...and I'm not putting anyone down, is that how could they afford to buy one? The main age that I was talking about was teenager to low 20's. But even mid 20's sometimes is hard to purchase anything without several years of credit. I should know I'm 37 years old and had to go through all of that.

So good luck to you my 25 year old business man:frog: For you are few and far between of the real world!

toodg,
Cool...I am about to buy my son a 1990 240sx... Cant wait to get it and work on it some.

toddg · 08-20-2002, 02:08 PM

Your son will have fun with the 240SX. I love that car!!! I am going to keep it as a second car. It has been extremely reliable.

ttipton · 08-20-2002, 02:16 PM

Good, I was hoping that you would say that..It is still a very sharp looking car. It doesnt need a lot of work, just your average maintenance.

What color is your 350z that you ordered and what style?

toddg · 08-20-2002, 04:01 PM

My Z is an Enthusiast, silver. It should be a fun car.

ttipton · 08-20-2002, 04:05 PM

Yes it should.
hopefully you will keep all of us informed when you get it and tell us what you think. Maybe some pictures too.
