Default Average age of 992 owners

Has anyone ever done a poll to see the average age of 992 owners?

I am in my early to mid 60’s, and I am curious if there are a lot of people my age still driving 911’s. At some point, it starts getting a little tough getting in and out of these cars.

61 here. I like to think entering and exiting this car keeps me flexible.

Helps keep you young.

The demographics are pretty well documented. As of 2020:

In the U.S.] the typical 911buyer is 46 to 65, average age 52. Household income: $310,000. The Boxster buyer is 36 to 55, with an average age of 47 [and] an average income of $243,000.”

I suspect, but do not know, this represents the demographics of those buying new...as opposed to someone buying used?

As an aside, and if memory serves me (from a few years ago), the oldest and wealthiest buyers (excluding exclusive / low volume cars) were jaguar owners.

67 years old. Bought my first 911 when I was 22. This one is # 6,

Yes, there are days when I take my Cayenne, just because I don't have to scrunch into the 992.....some days are better than others.
