How much does the average Z owner make a year?
 
How much does the average Z owner make a year? I figured it would be interesting to see if Nissan hit it's target demographic. A poll would at least keep it anonymous if that's something you want to keep private.

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.

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.

Trading value, APR, used car, etc. BTW, I paid less than $35K brand new. ;)

Still, I get what he means. After taxes and all other expenses, what's left over isn't a whole lot. If you don't have to pay student loans, rent or a mortgage, that's a huge weight off your shoulder. If however, you are making less than $35k and DO have other responsibilities, I honestly don't know how you could afford this car. Even if you saved a lot and put down a huge down payment, its still a lot in relation to your income. It would be like a kid making 5 bucks and hour buying a $1000 laptop.

.... Ok - maybe this post should have said - "how much money do those of you who live on your own make (who also own a Z)?"... lol
