It is definately the price that holds off the younger buyers. Everytime I go cruising with my top down, there's always some kid younger than me in an integra/civic that yells "thats your dad's car!" I just smile and cruise on...
Mainly got it cause, I had friends buying srt4's, sti's, evo's, 02> cobra's, z28's...etc and spending alot of $$$ just to get to 300-350hp...so i figured whats the best baaang for my buck without many mods??..nonetheless... But now, maybe with the new vararam I ordered, I should have the srt4 out of my site instead of being neck to neck after his $5-6k worth of mods.

Age 60 with 2004 Coupe and 82 Coupe both white and pretty much stock. As someone told me when I said I was thinking about buying a Vette, what's there to think about, it is the only American sports car ever made, it will run 180 mph if you have a desire to, you will be able to outrun 99.9% of all the vehicles that pull up beside you, and the car will get 28 mpg on the highway, SO WHAT'S THERE TO THINK ABOUT. Most fun I've had in years. The 04 is the most fun to drive but ohh the looks the 82 gets.

I bought an 88 vert at age 25 &
my current 02 vert at 39.

My first was an Orange '73 4sp in about 1980 when I was 21 yrs old. The insurance was high and my Dad thought I had lost my mind!

Just bought a Yellow 2002 Z06 today with 1,743 miles today.

I am 48 and the kids are about out of college!

Congrats on the purchase, and welcome to the forum

Aren't you worried that Allen is going to get jealous of the Z?

Welcome Denny...the Denny Crane? You're going to love the C5.

I bought my first Corvette in 1991, when I was 21, it was a white 84. Bought my second Corvette (my current one) in 2004, at age 34. I hope to buy a C6 before I turn 40! (although it'll most likely be a few years after that)

My first vette was a new 91 black coupe I bought in 91 at age 39. I got my fourth one 6 weeks ago, an 07 vert at age 54.

just turned 47 ,owned vettes since 18 years old,can't imagine my garage without it,I think I'll get a smaller house if I ever run out of money,got to have priorities,had a 72 ,a 80 L82,
an red 85 ,a white 85 which I still own next to my 98 black vert

I'm 37 & this 99 M6 is our first vette. I bought it for the wife as a Christmas present. for the first week or so she said it's a boy toy it's not really hers. well now to date she has logged over 8k miles (since Christmas) & already talking about a 03 spiral grey one when she graduates. she's not to keen on the C6 body style.

I`m 30 and I bought my `01 Vette at 29(May 2006)-First Corvette ever. It was loaded w/all the options when i went to see it and had only 11k miles.When the Guy opened the Garage and I saw it didn`t even ask for a Test drive-just said I will be back with a check and left him my Credit card as a Deposit. He said I was the first one to see the car (Tuesday)he posted the ad on Sunday....When I went back on Thursday he said he got probably 50 phonecalls in a day and had to tell them it was SOLD.Advertised for $27.599
Took the train to go pick it up and I was sooo happy do drive back in a CORVETTE and rumbled the engine on every Light and had all eyes on ME....Very very satisfied with the purchase

I'm 57 now, and have had my triple black 6-sp '01 vert for a little over 3 years now. This is my third Vette, a retirement present from me to me.

My first one was a '70 vert, dk green w/ saddle interior, 350/300 4-sp, which was purchased used in 1971 for $3250 when I was 21.

My second Vette was a '73 coupe, L-82 4-sp purchased in '74 for $5500. Ontario Orange w/saddle interior. Held that one until mid '77 when I got married. Sold it to put a downpayment on our first (and current) house - it was either sell the Vette or the engagement ring, so you can guess who won that debate! :-)

I agree with a lot of others, it's gotta be the price that's holding a lot of young buyers back. I paid almost the same for my '01 that the house cost - of course that was 30 yrs ago. Perhaps it's all relative - all things go up in price over time.

just bought my first, 2002 black conv. loaded with options, it's been a dream since I was 10, I'm 26 now

I am 64.....(so far I'm the oldest in here) I bought my new 1966 vette when I was 23. I traded it for a new 1969 vert when they came out. A few years later got married and kissed the Vettes good-bye for 28 years.......Still had the fever.....got a 2000 coupe than a 2004 coupe. I will never be Vette-less again.

You did the right thing! Congrats!
