Default What age did you purchase your C7 at?

Hey guys! Just curious to know how old everyone is when they bought their new C7!

Ill start off as I am 23! I know I've gotta be one of the youngest on here but I'm interested in seeing what kind of age groups are buying it.

I'm 28, ordered mine 11/11. This will be my 4th corvette. I have had a C4, C5, and just sold my C6.... It's a lifetime passion!

22 with the C6 and really thought it would be 29 with the C7.
I'm 29 now and have opted against a C7 so far after having seen a few in person. They still have yet to grow on me.

Personally I'm waiting for a wide-body C7 to come out and then I'll be on board. Right now it lacks something for me in the visuals.

I would say you would be in the 1 percentile......I have never seen more raves about a car in my life and I'm not young. This car is a rockstar
out in public.

Bought my first one at age 29 and 7 more.

The "rockstar" thing won't last. It is a significantly new Corvette design and few are out in the public. Once they are commonplace, they will still look good but likely won't be any more special than any other Vette.

And a non-trivial number of people (more than 1 percentile) don't like the rear. Alot people didn't like the rear when the C7 was announced. Some of those have convinced themselves that it has grown on them. Others still don't like it (and none of us know what percentage that is, but it isn't trivial because it gets mentioned often and not always by the same people).

Thank you for your uplifting and inspirational comments. They are truly original and the forum always appreciates new insight and cutting edge critique.

Better to be 50. Often go to lunch with some of the younger colleagues at work. Keep getting senior discounts w/o asking for it.

I was 21 when I bought my 1st C-2, (a brand new 64 Riverside Red convertible that I ordered) and now I'm 70, (the new 21) when I bought my C-7, (Torch Red, which I also ordered.) I'm planning on ordering a 2064 as soon as they start building them!

59, purchased my first vette in 1975 and I just sold it this past Sept. Along with that I owned (2) '72 LT-1's, which I have departed with. Purchased my first C6 last May (2006 Z51,3LT, Auto and recently departed with that to acquire the C7. Presently @ 3400 status, this will be my first new Vette since that first purchase back '75 when I was a young age of 21. Save the Wave! AW/Red Z51 2LT!
