Default average owner age

What's the average age of a Porsche 911 owner these days? I read somewhere perhaps in WSJ that the average age is in the 50's (new porsche buyers). Is that true? Sounds a bit high; although from what I see here in SF that seems about right.

I would say around 30 to 40 ish. I assume its going to get younger and younger with the price drop lately.

What price drop is that? Last time I checked PAG has increased prices on a yearly basis. I assume you are talking about the used car market?

I'm 35 almost 36, but I bought mine used (2002 C4S) about 2 weeks ago.

I think 30 to 40 ish is for buying used, for buying new I'm sure the age is much higher.
