56yrs old. I sold off a part of my business in 2005 and came away with more cash than I expected. The Boxster was a small gift to me for 20 years of faithful service in my former dealership. A good gift.

57 and bought my 2000 as a summer toy two months ago. Third Porsche, but first one in 20 years (something to do with a divorce and rasing children). Two out of three (children, not wives!) were out of the house and the youngest was just finishing college, so I treated myself. Of course, now one is moving back home and the other is returning to school in the fall! No worries, the car stays!
Another interesting question might be: what are the relative ages of our spouses/significant others? I mean, I'm pretty confident (and the posts seem to confirm) that most of the older owners feel younger than their physical years. We also obviously appreciate a tight and curvaceous body.....
Cheers!
Brad

Yes, but the mode is 50-59 with over a third of all respondants (35.6% approx.) between those ages. Furthermore, in total about 56 % are between 40 and 59, so it seems to be largely a middle-aged possession. Middle-age crazies????????

I'll chime in here, too. I'm 40, and have owned my 99 base since last August. As far as the stats go, I have a bit to contribute (I'm a statistician by profession):
Summary Statistics
Mean 44.397059
Std Dev 13.141185
Std Err Mean 1.5936027
Upper 95% Mean 47.577903
Lower 95% Mean 41.216214
N 68
Median 44.5
Mode 44
It looks like we're a fairly normally distributed bunch, except for you guys in your 20's... but hey, I'm not sure ANYONE in their 20's is quite normal. 
Cheers,
Jason

Oops, my dyslexia sometimes gets the better of me. I could have sworn I wrote arctic silver. Or maybe I subconsciously related the word arctic with alaska. I will blame Sara Pailin and leave it at that.

Aw! I want to participate! But a lady never reveals her age!
Anyway... I was 28 when I bought my Boxster 4 years ago.
I'm surprised by early 20s peeps here! I would've loved to own a Porsche back then. Wow! Back when I was your age, I owned a 95 Civic and a 96 integra and selling both probably would've gotten me a pretty messy SC and A LOT more in maintenance costs! My how times have changed!
