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
