I was 22 when I bought mine, 25 now. I think 17 might take it. The teenage girls running around in cars the parents bought don't really count :P

Well, I guess I'm 3rd from oldest so far: 65. Retired at 57 (after teaching 7th graders for 27 years) and haven't regretted a minute. Still ride motorcycles, bird hunt, hike/backpack/mountain climb, mountain bike ride, XC and downhill ski, and sail. Gotta stay fit! Who has time for work ?

I think most teenagers would likely fall in that category

It is not out of the realm of possibility to afford an earlier model assuming they have been working when/where possible and saving, but most teens do not have 10-20k in the bank (not to mention credit) at the time they turn 16 and an expensive car purchase is just as likely to be at least partially financed by mom and dad regardless of gender.

Is this our physical age, or our mental age? Since buying and driving this car, my mental age has decreased significantly!

I was twenty when I purchased my first Porsche. A 1988 944 with a broken timing belt, I was welcomed by the local PCA members and have been hooked since. I was twenty four when I bought my 03 Boxster S with 37,000 km on it ( about 23,000 miles for the Americans here)

I am now 25 with both cars, the boxster has 68,000 km on it and I also have a beautiful fiancée and her three amazing kids. Needless to say I feel very lucky/ fortunate.










I even found my mom a 987 and wash it for her haha
