The average Ferrari owners age is 52 (but coming down).

It's that high because the real big-boys that own for example, 5+ Ferrari's or even 10+ Ferraris, and/or order an example of EVERY new model they release and/or own the older, heavyweight, expensive metal, tend to be in their their late 40's-50's. In addition that age group is probably more representative, even for single Ferrari ownership, of the US market in particular which is still the biggest market.

It's coming down though because the newer markets have younger owners.

Got to say, that the age you acquire your first one is typically a function of priorities at least as much as ££££. Skewed priorities? Aaaaah..... good times!!! smile

(No I don't work for Ferrari. Have met some high up people along the way, that do though)

So true regarding skewed priorities!

Could have bought a few houses on a mortgage for what I "wasted" on cars in my early twenties.

The way I saw it was you can't buy memories, unless you believe total recall was a documentary. smile

I've always espoused similar.

You can always earn more money, you can never get your time/memories back.

My God how did you get insurance!!
I'd had two cars beforehand (one a convertible, one a turbo) with premiums of £3 and 2.5k. 355 was about double that with a clean record, ncb and a hefty excess through a friend's insurance company.

A friend had a 1998 Vantage V600 as his first car. Given to him the day he passed his test, the git. £25k premium.

As said above, while you have the freedom to do it, get it done!

"andrew" is too immature to own a Ferrari.

You wouldn't believe it to look at him though.

He must just be one of life's worriers hehe

Many entrepreneurs I know only really started their companies at 30+ .....so you'd expect most Ferrari buyers to be 40+ I expect.
