Nissan 370Z Forum  

How much does the average Z owner make a year?

those are some low numbers - do people that actually make below $50,000 buy a $35,000 car? That's 70% of their income, makes no sense at all.

You're forgetting about the used market, and people who live with their folks.

Does it count if your parents make over $75K? I'm 16 and my parents bought me my Z.

Your parents must hate you that much.

When I was 16, my parents wanted to buy me a tank to drive to school. They were afraid a car is too fragile.

His parents hate him because they bought him a car? Rush to judgment wouldn't you say boss man? My dad bought me a car when I was 14; I turned out ok (I think) and never took anything for granted up to this day.

My parents bought me a car when I was 16 and then another one when I was 18. The first one was totaled in an accident when my sister had it. The second one my parents bought me so I could commute to college and live at home. They really did not want me to dorm there so I took the car

After that I started working and have paid for all my cars with my own money.

Lug, it's sizzling hot and beyond thermometer levels just responding to the wrong belief that one is a spoiled brat simply because his/her parents bought him/her a car. I think B1ades can attest to that ... his parents didn't want him to turn into Van Wilder at the campus dorms

Those numbers don't really mean anything because most people don't finance their cars in one year. If they pay cash upfront then there is no way they only make 50k a year. Now if you made 50k a year and financed a 35k car over 4 or 5 years, that's only 14% of their income over 5 years. I was only making 40k a year when I purchased my Z and I've never had a problem making my payments.
