I'm 24 years old. I work for the Postal Service making a modest income.

I purchased my '04 SL brand new in October of '04. I make monthly payments on the Maxima as well as my '04 Suzuki GSX-R 600. I also have a '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is paid for.

Prior to purchasing the Maxima I owned an '04 Dodge SRT-4. I was no stranger to neons as the SRT was the sixth that I had owned. I loved the car to death but I was at a point in my life where I wanted a car that was more mature and refined. After venturing to the Nissan dealership to look at a 350z, I fell in love with the Maxima. After realizing the Maxima would be more practical than the z, I went ahead and traded the SRT in on it. As much as I love the Max, I do miss the SRT. I plan to sell my Jeep after this lovely Pennsylvania winter comes to an end at which point I will concentrate on buying a house. Hopefully not to far down the road I will be able to afford another SRT (in addition to the Max) to serve as a "spirited" weekend cruiser.

Quote: I'm 45 - purchased a 2005 SL just before Christmas. As for the age survey, it could be that the survey results reflect not so much the actual age demographic of Maxima owners, but rather the age demographic of Maxima owners who are more enthusiatic about their car than the typical Maxima owner AND who have a certain comfort level with computers.

Given the price of the Maxima, I would be interested to find out how some of the younger respondees are paying for their Maximas. Great job? Family assistance? Big loan? Inheritance?
I think you hit the nail on the head. The vast majority of Maxima owners are old like me 46- they just don't spend time on the computer reading about surveys.....

If I could have owned a Max like that at 18 I probably would have many more ex's than I do now. I was toting around in a Taurus at 18. Way to go kid. It took me till 31 to get a car this nice.

36. First Maxima in 99 (after a BMW 5 series), traded in the Max for a Mercedes CLK 320 ( in 2000) and then bought a 96 Max as a daily driver in 2001. I then sold the 96 Max in 2003 to a relative. My CLK started giving me trouble at about 62,000 miles, and at 64,000 I decided to trade in my Benz for a 6th generation SE. I mainly bought it because it had plenty of room so I didn't get too many options. I've gotten used to going from German to Japanese to German again. I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

Well, I'm 27...I install car stereo/alarms for a living. I've had my own shop twice...right now I work for a shop until I get more funds to do the store thing all over again. This time by myself...NO more partners for me. I also just started an ebay thing. I'm also a realtor. I'm also engaged and I'm looking for a condo to buy soon. I just hustle to make my money...

I'm surprised at the results, I thought my age group would be the minority. But, I guess I was wrong!

I suspect your result will be somewhat skewed on the younger side due to this being an internet poll.

Perhaps Nissan would release age demographic data. You can be certain that such information is central to marketing and product development. Anyone out there have the inside track with NIssan to access/procure this information?

44. Between my husband and myself we have owned 7 Nissans. '71 240 Z, '85 4x4 truck SE, '84 300ZX, '89 Pathfinder, '94 Quest, '02 Xterra, and now my '04 Maxima SE (purchased in that order). The only ones purchased brand new was the Xterra and the Max. My altimate choice in new cars would have been the 350 but I'm still carting around kids and needed a back seat. The Max was the next best thing.

In my area I see mostly people my age driving the new Max. It wasn't very popular last year but now I see a ton of them on the road. I have the Trenze grill and was the only one for a little while but I've seen a couple of Max's that have been modified. I actually saw an Altima with a Trenze grill.

Amazing demographic... wild to see a car appeal to such a wide variety of ages. Nissan would dig this info.

44 ... car freak, can't count the cars I've bought over the years, stand-outs are the 01 540i (BMW), 02' F250 Super Duty (the current other car, to pull a race trailer), 93 325i, 96 Mitsu VR-4, a couple of SHO's, yada, yada, yada. Today: White 05 SE Max.

29.

Untill a few years ago, I've always been a classic car type guy and have always had 1 or 2 old car or truck either on the road restored or one in progress as well as whatever late model pickup as a daily driver. I finally got away from the old cars not having much time to do the work anymore and got my 02 mustang gt, then a year later getting a new truck again also. Now I've taken a step up trading the mustang for the 04 Maxima. This is the first import much less Nissan or Maxima I have owned. I love it thus far. Even 3 years later since the time I got the mustang, I still miss not having anything to tear into and build up, so hopefully I'll still be able to do my own maintenance and my own repairs once the warranty is up at least, to give me something to do. I keep a $250mil heavily electronic aircraft fixed and flying for living, so the complexity of these newer cars with lots of toys doesnt scare me, but possibly needing special or even car specific equipment does.
