21. Wanted one since I was 13 but parents didn't have money. Went back to school last year and also got a good paying job and a side business. Put half of each paycheck in my Z fund and was able to buy one for cash last month. 06 with 33k miles. Now I baby it and haven't let a single person drive it. Some friends get pissed at me but I'm sure if they worked 60 hours a week to save up for a car while in school full time they would understand why I don't let them touch it haha.
Oh and JHuang01, there's a kid at my gym who got a new GTR on his 17th birthday so he pretty much has everyone beat here

I'm 21, bought an 03 Enthusiast with 70k on it last summer. Before the Z I had an e36 m3 (sold for the down payment of the Z) which I bought myself. I paid my Z off the day I bought it, by myself.

btw wasn't doing that just so i can buy the z lol. I needed money and couldn't pass up the job offer even though it's a lot of hours. But all the overtime paid off and the z was a nice bonus for me

I know that I'm going to get a lot of criticism over this, however, I am 17. Turning 18 in July, but I couldn't pass up on the deal and the find, so I had my mom sign for the car and everything and am gonna transfer it whenever I turn 18. I am paying my car payment at the moment. Mommy and daddy didn't hand it over to me. I figured I should add all of this to let everyone know that I'm not a typical 17 year old.

I think the high insurance rates on our cars and the high death rates might have something to do with people below the age of 21 getting these cars. Me personally I'm glad I never got it at 17-19 years old because I would of did some stupid stuff that could of contributed to the high insurance rates. 21+ is a perfect age (preferably after you get tired of drinking so much after your 21st birthday) to be mature enough to drive a sports car.
