Default Age of Buyer

Lots of discussions about the age of buyers for the new C7. If you have taken delivery of your car or have already ordered, pick your age group.

I was just about to post a poll as well but I would have broken it into 5 year increments starting at 25 and under and end at 65 and older.

31 here and ordering after the winter.

Who are the 3 20-29 owners?
Not saying I don't believe it, just curious.

Interesting breakdown at this point in the poll.

20-39(young) = 37%
40-59(mid) = 30%
60 +(old) = 33%

pretty even spilt. I don't see the "100% existing Corvette owners buying C7's" that GM was spouting off about in this poll.

And I was made fun off by this forum for stating the fact that I'm over 70 and pay cash for my cars. Seems that I'm not the only on. LOL

I think the new C7 buyers have a better grade of gold chains (18K vs 14K) and all their hair-plugs have taken root now.

I'm 30. Thankfully, I'll still be 30 when I get the car. I was worried it was going to get delayed... a year. LOL

Same camp that you are - 72. Will sell my C6 summer to fall of '14, buy a C7 after sale.... in the interim I'm so car deprived I'm forced to DD my Ferrari....

Bought my first Vette in '62 at age 21, bought my first P-car at 23.

Life's tough when you're having so much fun.

I've always had a love of Corvettes. Bought my first C5 in my 20's and now buying a C7 in my 30's. Would have bought a C6, but spent the cash on home and family (wife, two kids.)
