Age of 430 owners

In the back of your mind, you know perfectly well that not a single Lucky Sperm Club member will openly admit to owning an exotic bought by their parents. I know I wouldn't, I'd lie through my teeth and tell everyone I bought it myself just to avoid the torches and pitchforks.

 

I feel like an old man at purchasing my first Ferrari a couple of months ago at 51. The 50's are the new 40's, that's what I believe and I'm sticking to it.

 

30 over here too.

just met my goal, of getting my first F at 30, by 2 weeks!

 

46 years old for the 430, This is the 4th F car. I started with a 308 in 1992.

 

35yrs old.

 

35 for the 1st 430; 36 for my 2nd 430..

 

38 for my first Ferrari F430. Hope to own and experience many more in the future. I love this car!

 

I was 62 when I got the 430. Was in my early 50s when I got my first F-car. As for those in the lucky sperm club, not a single one admitted to buying with Daddie's momey. Surprise, surprise.

Got my first P turbo at 23 new from Germany, got my first F car at 51, first F430 at 52, second F430 (spyder) at 54. Wife has a 360 and I am not dumb enough to give out her age. I would like to drive my cars in good health for a while.

37, F430. Wife made me do it, I probably would have waited. As usual, she was correct.

 

My 360 at 37 and my new 430 spider today at 39.

I just signed up here after reading this whole thread. I think it''s great that in general, members here are congradulating and promoting young Ferrari ownership.

Im 21 and dont have a ferrari yet. I had to break loose from my families middle-lower class background to buy my 2003 BMW M3. But many people i meet dont take me seriously, or they feel envy when they think my parents bought my car...

Anyways, I can really appreciate what it takes to think big, up to the ferrari level. It may be modest praise to members of THIS forum, but there it is. i can't wait to join the ranks!

 

The thread title is "Age of 430 owners" not "How old were you when you bought your first Ferrari". Don't hate...

 

I was 35.

 

31 years Modena 6-speed, 35 a 430 6-speed. You only live once.

 

I consider people who buy the car to be the actual owner. Not impressive when a kid gets handed a Ferrari.

 

Who said that you were supposed to be impressed? It just sounds like you are a little jealous. His family are true enthusiast... they don't own the cars just for status symbols. I really appreciate all the info, photos and video that Manuma shares with this community.
