Average age of Maxima buyers??

Does anyone know what the statistics are? Trying to find the average age of a Maxima owner/buyer, but can't find it anywhere. Looking for an up-to-date figure, because I think the age has been coming down the last few years...lots of young guys (20's) are buying them here in the Northeast.

You have to also take in account the Craig Macks of the world. Not everyone owns the Maxima that they drive.

are the age based on when it was bought? im assuming that they are old when they are bought new.. but gets passed down to younger crowds when they buy 2nd hand... the smart ones will get a 2nd hand max versus a new civic...

I believe that Nissan said in 2002 that they were marketing the Max to males in their mid forties making in the mid 80s.

I would imagine they know their market, so I'll go with middle age guys buy the most Maxes.

i would say newer max's are being bought mostly by middle aged men, like 35-45. but one thing you cant deny is that more and more younger people are driving 4th gens. this is because since car value is so low right now, depreciation is insane, this makes the 4th gen maxima VERY VERY affordable to younger people, like me. 18. and also, now that finance rates are so cheaps and such more people are buying cars, which means that, that middle aged man driving that 98max just bought a new car and gave the 98'max to his 16-19 year old son.

Well, in my town I think I'm the only guy who has a Maxima and thier own teeth and hair. I'm 25. I just bought my maxima a couple weeks ago. But has anyone noticed that auto manufacturers, when they market a car to young people (Sentra, Civic, Focus, Neon, etc.) it is typically underpowered (105-150 hp). However when they market a car to older people (Cadillac, Mercury, BMW, Maxima) they cram as much hp in it as possible! Why??? My theory is that young people have to buy slow *** cheap cars because if they could afford & have fast cars they would all be destroying everything. Old people buy well performing cars and then drive them 20mph under the speed limit in both lanes! See how the man is trying to stick it to us??? Thats why Maxima owners are usually pretty smart people!

Please, PLEASE, not this tired old poll again; it's just another excuse for post ****** to jump in for the 50th time. Besides, the question concerned average ages of all Maxima owners, not org members.
