Got my first when I was 26. Got my second when I was 31. The first is a gutted race car on jackstands now... LOL
It's not so much the price of the car when buying used... it's the insurance that kills you when you are making a high payment as a younger person.

Lets add to this topic and put the age when you purchased your own home.. Any parent that buys a 16 year old kid a Corvette ought to be shot.
I was 21 when I bought my house.. 31 when I bought my first Corvette. This is my 17th car.. I never keep them to long but I think I will keep this one

Age 16 - 1978 Dodge Truck, Tubbed, 440, all the good stuff. I made $6.10 a hour and spent it all on gas.
Between the ages of 17-18 I purchased over 100 Various Mopars buying and selling and driving at the same time, great money till everything dried up. Did this as my Job.
At 19 I purchased a 1994 Dodge Stealth and totaled it within a year, then bought another one to replace it. I made $7.50 a hour
At 20 I bought my '98 Coupe, I only made $8.25 a hour.
I personally get so tired of people looking at it as a status symble, hell I am broke, but happy This just proves that anyone can get what they want with ditermination. The only problem is people start to talk when you stock shelves at a Wal-Mart and drive a Vette. 
I am now 22

My first Corvette is the 2003 Z06 which I purchased August of this year. Kind of a 28th B-Day present for myself ;p
I wanted 400+ hp in my 1997 Z28 and I wanted to do it right with an LS6 engine and go from auto to stick in the process. Looked at MASSIVE number of changes I needed to make to the car, added up all the costs and said hmm need to buy a beater as well while I build it...and I have no where to build it....
So I said screw it and bought my LS6....and the 2800 lbs wrapped around it ;p
