You in this category? Lol.

The answer is: The one that the guy who asks that question drives.
I would suggest that those at mid-life or past quite often are buying one because it took that long to be in the financial position to do so . Show me a 30 year old that wouldn't love to be driving one and I will show you a 30 year old that lobbies for more bike lanes..........
 
I bought my first Vette in 1986 when I was 36 and have had at least one every year since.
Up until the C8 the average age of a Vette buyer was late 40s, I expect for the reasons
mentioned above, family grown and more disposable income, however the C8 introduction
seemed to pique the interest of younger buyers, who tend to marry later now changing the
kids and disposable income dynamic.

The average age of a Corvette purchaser is around 54-61 years old. Recent data shows a shift toward younger buyers, especially with the C8 model. Historical Data - In 2009, the average Corvette buyer age was 61-63 . By 2015, the peak sales group was 55-64 years old at nearly 29% Pre-C8 (around 2019), the average reached 61 years .Recent Trends (C8 Era)GM reports the C8 Corvette dropped the average buyer age by about 7 years from the C7's 61, landing around 54 . It's now the top sports car for buyers under 35, attracting a new generation . Still, 59% of owners are over 55, with under-34s at just 4.6% .
 
I bought my first Corvette at age 25. Even though Corvette has been the #1 obtainable dream car for most, I saw no need to wait while having my family and it was faster than the Ambulance getting my wife to the hospital for our first child to be born!:D
