How old were you when you bought your z

280z/300zx

17 when I bought my 300zx
18 when I bought my 280z (kept my 300zx and was the only 18 year old I knew with 2 cars at the time)
27 when I when I bought my 370z.

The 280z and 300zx I bought on my own while going to school full time and only working 15-20hrs a week part time. The 370z was a gift to myself for graduating med school; of course I waited until I was 6mo out and had a stable job. Now I have 3 Z's.

Got mine at 19, I did a 50/50 deal with my parents and am in the process of paying back the other half of the cost of the car I could not afford after selling my old car and spending some of my savings and selling some stock. I have so far paid back about half of my parent's half.

I've always been a huge believer that working for something gives you a much greater appreciation for anything you get, I personally get great satisfaction knowing I worked for everything I have.

Bought mine last year, was 26. Last week had my windows down stopped at a stoplight. An older guy on a harley pulls up next to me, says nice car, followed by "so did your mom n dad buy that for you". Was kind of surprised by that. Told him no. If you work full time, have no debt and are wise with your money you can afford one, even when you young!

Another old guy here; I'm 53.

Does it count that I was 19 when I bought my first new car, a 1977 B-210? What a rockin car - four speed, with the optional tach and AM-FM radio. No a/c, roll down windows, and 70 hp. Oh yea, and I remember bitching to my dad that gas had jumped to $0.45 a gallon!

I hope you "young" guys appreciate what you have. In dark days of the late-70's/early-80's, cars really sucked.

Jeez, I am old!

I was 25 when I bought my Z. I just turned 26 in july. I'm a medic currently serving somewhere in afghanistan and I cannot wait to drive my car again lol.

Too bad we won't be able to say the same think when we're 53. The cars will probably be fueled by cooking oil and Li batteries, and top out at 90mph......downhill, with a tailwind.

Bought my Z as a 21st birthday present for myself so I was 20 at the time of purchase.

Say what? LOL. I wonder if I get a discount when I turn 65? Nah, seriously man, the discount normally happens at age 25.

I bought it when I was 25 -- software engineer. This car payment is in addition to my other one, so I have two now. It was my gift to myself for starting a new job with a nice salary increase.

Insurance at progressive was $270/month, so I switched to Liberty Mutual where I pay ~$200/month, but that does include 2 cars -- the Z and the Accord, full coverage, $500 deductibles -- 1 accident, no tickets.

NismoZ370

that sounds horrible man sorry... thats as much as i pay and im 22

Thats kick *** dude Im Army currently deployed as well take care and be safe man your Z is waiting for you

What were you honest about if you care to say so i can know what not to say haha.

Well they told me it was only 5 bucks higher from my scion tc when i called before buying the car and then now i renewed and they raised that sh*t so i was a little upset.

Thanks for all the awesome responses Allstate sounds like the winner. I have a 5th gen prelude,my Z, 2008 r1, and renters insurance on a house. My rate was $360 a month the bike was $150 and the house was $14 a month the
cars were $196. Thats me and my 22 year old wife (this isnt going to turn into pics for my wife thread i saw that happen in a forsale thread hilarious!) anyways so my insurance renewed and they raised $419 and my bike and car went up... (i made a claim for 6k on the bike last year) but that shouldnt raise my car premium and i renewed my policy after the crash and it only went up 9 bucks a month now it went up $50 i dont understand insurance they rape you!
