According to Daniel Heraud's informtaion on MSN carpoint, the average age for owners of 2002 TL & TLs is 46. 74/26 Male/Female ratio and income is listed at $85k (must be combined income). 77% are also married. I'm not sure what his source is for all this information, but I find it pretty interesting. Take a look at some of the other models too.
Personally I'm way under 46, male, nowhere near $85k, and not married. 1 out of 4

 

54, male, married and over $85K. Guess the demographics balance out in the end.

Wow...way off here, too.

Not even 21 until the end of the month, unmarried (but the ex-girlfriend who came with me to pick up the car said it was an "old person's car"), and not even close to $85k...

 

i'm only 21 and in the military (no money!!!)

 

still 19...not married, and no way is my income near 85k...

 

33, not married, $85K???? whatever........

:o

 

I'll swing the group a little closer to the published norm.

Male, married, 37, income >$100k

 

48yrs. and single. income $91k.

 

damn and im only 16

 

I am only 20, i guess the Demographic for this site is 99% males in there 18-30 range. And most of the people who visit this saite arent in that other demographic study.

 

Male, 37, married to a 28 year old. Guess that brings the average down. >85K (combined).

 

I'm batting .750. 3 out of 4 ain't bad. I'm 29.

 

31 yrs old, married to 28 yr old, way over $85K...

 

Don't forget that there are a ton of other people out there with these cars that don't participate here...

 

26..male....single....umm...maybe 85k/year within the next 5 years....maybe

03 TLs

 

47, male, 75K (JPY120/US$), married.
Pretty close to the model......

 

2.5 out of 4. 23 Male, living with my girlfriend, more that 85K.

 

58 years young and over 100k

 

64, male, married, WAY less tham85K.

 

18 years old and only dream of a 85k income.

 

Yep, I would believe it. Most of the folks I see driving the TL here in Atlanta are probably in their 50s or 60s.

Folks driving the TL-S maybe about 10 years younger.

TL is definitely is not a younger person's car like the IS300 or the BMW 330I. Still like my 02 TL-S though even though it seems like an old farts car sometimes.

 

33, male, single, not even close to $85K. It seems most of the TL drivers in Honolulu are middle-aged or older, or soccer-mom looking females. Oh the shame! ....But I just couldn't see myself in that tiny little IS300.

3 positives out of 4 for me. I'm way younger than 46. Most people who drive TLs around here are older, and, as has been said before, most of these people could care less about sharing their experiences on the Web. How unfortunate for them!

And I've made my TL-P into a much younger person's car, those Comptech springs really make a difference in looks and handing! I actually get looks from other TL drivers while I'm on the road.

 

male 36 single n loving it 67k +

 

33, male, engaged, - greater than 85k

22 male, last years net $1.2m (I'm a cheater that includes the market)

 

Dont forget, that survey was probably only taking into consideration the NEW car purchases. Many of the younger people on this site are buying used 1999 or 2000 models, (which, even used, is definitely a better car than the otherwise popular Honda Accord EX) probably because they dont have incomes anywhere near that $85k figure. Then there are a bunch of young kids on this site who openly state their parents bought them the car new. So that doesnt count either since its more than likely the parents are way over the $100k tax bracket to be buying their kid a $32k (plus tax) TL-S as a HS graduation present. <p>
I see the under 30 crowd in my NY neighborhood driving the 2000 or older TL. Most of the people i see with the 2002+ TL-S are in the 35+ age group.

 

17 male, not married 85K almost

 

2002 TL Type S - im 19 and no my parents did not buy it for me. my income is no where near 85k, but im hoping soon it will be.

 

I'm 42, married, make 150K+ and I have a 03 TL

 

17 years old, male, of course not married, not making 85K.... i definitely wouldnt mind being the above guy though... personally though if i made 150K a year, i wouldnt drive a 35K car... thats just me........

 

25, engaged, combined ??? about 75K:yack: potheitc for living in Jersey...

 

18, single, student

The age group represented in this forum is younger, because the majority of TL owners do not go online to talk about cars.

Only us....

 

FYI, thats a combined income, and I guess I should mention I have 4 cars and own 3 homes, the goal is to drive the really nice cars when I retire and invest in propertys for now.

Furthermore, I LOVE MY TL...

Thanks for the comment though,

just turn 19 last month and im no where near 85k a year, but i did paid off my car like 4 weeks ago. oh BTW its a 02 TL-S but 85k might be right around the corner:p

 

please dont belive everything you read here ..... these are just statements made by people we dont really know....ohh and if you dont already know...people do lie online.

 

23, Married, 93K per year and lovin it. The TL and the Moneythat is, marriage well that's another quoestion.

 

:wow: how true...i never realized how many rich people were on this forum....what the heck do you guys do...and why would you be driving a glorified honda if you made so much money...?? IMO

 

I don't condsider $150k year rich by any means, I live (Silicon Valley) in a place were a median price home is $480,000. So if you make 75k year and an average home cost $140 in your area, your way a head the game compared to me.

As for as owning a TL, it's a nice car, I put $5,000 down and still have a $515 dollar car payment, to me thats a big hunking car payment.

Yeap, your right some people do lie, but I hope your not talking about me.
