How Old Are Fellow 6th Gen Maxers?

Hello Maxima Fanatics.

Looks like there is a quite diverse set of 6th generation maxima fans out there.

Despite the demographic target Nissan used to develope the 2004 and 2005 Maxima.....How old are you?

This should be interesting!

39.
Interesting results so far. Maybe the ranges in the poll should have been in smaller increments because it looks like it is all one gtoup so far.

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?

Well, I just raised the average age by a few decades . . .

If the chart was a 'bell' curve, I would be somewhat outside the box the bell came in . . .

I have a big loan and work a second PT job to ensure that loan gets paid. You can tell where my priorities are: I borrowed more $ for my car than my degree. Now only if that degree could get me full-time in my career, it'd be all good.

It's funny that I saw this poll today because it's my birthday. Weird coincidence. I'm 27 by the way and had my 04 SE since last June.

Im kinda like JC, cept 18 years older. I bought a Sentra Spec V, but it was too small for my needs even though I lvoed the handling and the awesome Brembos. I put on a body kit and Nismo intake. I miss that car but, I love my 05 Onyx Max with leather and 6 speed.

I agree completely. Was put on to this site by a friend with an Infiniti.

Along with lightonthehill, I'm helping to skew (just a little) the curve. I am 65. My Max is Silver and so is my hair (yes I still have most of it.) which is why I picked my name.

26 and a CPA. There is no better car for the money. It just happens to be really fast. Working 12-14 hours per day this time of year, I might as well enjoy my time in the car.

28 years old. I figure as long as I am single, I might as well have a car that I enjoy. Actually, I might need an enjoyable car even more when I'm married and have kids.

Still 26. I am a school teacher, have a house, 2 dogs and a 2000 GLE and a 2005 SE. You would see the pics if the morderator wouldn't of taken them off... I work at school and I have alot of responsibilities there which allow me to get more $in my pocket. I am also in grad school to be a school administrator. I should get about a $15-20K raise when I graduate next May. I am also bilingual, so that helps mucho.
