Age Poll

Hello, I'm 48 years old thinking about buying my first Mustang, probably v6. I'm wondering what typical age of Mustang owner is, am I too old for a Mustang?

You're definitely not too old. This isn't a rattle-your-teeth-out Mustang from your childhood. This is an incredibly refined car with amazing road manners and smooth acceleration.
...with enough horsepower to make you feel like a kid again. ;-)

If you're asking the question... you're too old!

Go take one for a drive... if it suits your tastes, buy it and "to hell" with what anyone else thinks.

As a 27 year old, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the first group "16-30." I'm sick of being grouped off of the "16-25" cutoff and being lumped into "26-40."

Thank you. I feel young again.

16-30 thats a pretty broad age group, i wouldnt really think a 16 yr old would have much in common with 30 yr old

We already have a pretty long "age" thread in this section. However, I'm 22 and would have been buying my first GT this year. Who knows when I will get the chance again. I'm hoping to get into SOMEthing stick/V8 this year.

"You can sell a young man's car to an old man, but you cannot sell an old man's car to a young man."

You are never too old for a Mustang.

I'm 51 and bought my first Mustang about 8 months ago. The biggest mistake I made was not getting one many years ago. Went to my first Mustang Week last weekend and had a blast.
