    I bought mine at 39, although it wasn't for a lack of searching... I had been looking for quite a while before pulling the trigger. my car is a 1978 GTS.

    Toyota Avalon at 35 ;)

    I was a late starter -- I didn't buy a car until I was 27 (and it was a new Oldsmobile Intrigue for my wife.)

    Thanks to the Infamous Craigslist GT4, I was able to own two Ferraris before I turned 40. Still have both the 328 and the GT4.

    i was almost 39. Other than the day I met my wife, it was the happiest day so far because she was with me to pick it up. Every day since gets better.

    At 35 I realized I could some day have one. So goal was set at 40. 43 was when it finally happened. Well worth the wait!

    My mantra was "Ferrari by 40". I got mine at 39 and a half.

    Then I realized I jumped over Porsche, and I'd always be wondering if I didn't try....

    So I got a Porsche at 42 and sold it at 44.

    Still have the Ferrari!

    Great thread, I bought my 308 GTS QV when I was 29 years old. I've since had over 40 other cars and I still have that 308. I LOVE it. My kids love it. Its part of my family.
