Age of 370Z owners?

shika805 · 05-22-2012, 10:05 AM

25 and purchasing a 40th next week. This is my second Z, my first (still own) is a 71' 240z restored over 5 years. Work two jobs as an X-ray tech. Parents retired and moved to the Philippines and left me the house to take care of.

Excited and nervous about buying a z, this is my first big purchase and biggest present to myself. Good way to build my credit I guess.

My mortgage (which includes property taxes and insurance) is near $1900/month. My 370 with it 3% interest loan runs me around $500/month. No where near another mortgage payment LOL...

Very nice! Keep up the good work

Crazy how many 21 - 25 somethings that own a Z. I'm not mad about this fact! I think it's awesome so many owners work their *** off for the car.

I'm 32 btw.

its really what a college education can get you! graduated last year from a city college. Because its a fraction of what a university cost for tuition, I graduated with no loans out of the radiology program and is making double what my girlfriend is. And she graduated with a BA and is burried in $20k worth of school loans. If I was in her situation I wouldnt even consider buying a Z.

Yes sir X-ray tech for about a year now. What part of the health care profession are you in? If you don't mind me asking.

To all you young owners out there, working hard to pay for your Z.....Congrats! Bought my first Z, on my own at age 22 (in 1980, a used '76 280Z), think I paid about $5,000 for it.

Well the 280Z got me a cute girlfriend, who became my wife, who became the mother of my 2 children (O.o bye bye Z) and my partner in paying for the mortgage on a nice house. But alas, mortgage is almost done and one kid is done with college and the 2nd almost there. So that cute girlfriend said it's okay to buy another Z (2013 on order).

My advice to you young people out there, work hard, enjoy your Z and if you have to part with it for the greater good? Do it and keep working hard, for the Z will come back to you!

unless these kids are rich, im pretty sure their parents are paying for it. unless these kids are drug dealers or unless they have 0 bills and $0 expenses .. good for them tho..

with all the above on a college graduation puts you in a good position to get a Z. Worked for me as well.
