so far I've seen the owners range from early 30's into 60's....from my point of view as we deliver them directly to the customers

When I was 24 I was in the military. No way to afford to spend that much on a car. But if I become a 3IS owner I will be 50 and could easily write a check for it if I wanted. Funny though I'm still a tightwad with my money. I guess somethings never change.

Very common whenever soldiers/sailors/airman come back from deployment so I guess it's a normal thing.

I guess I've been around these forums a long time, but I love to see the progression of these threads as a new car is introduced. Typically...

1) Impressions of 3IS
2) Who is planning on buying the 3IS?
3) Post pics of your 3IS right now.
4) What is the age group of IS owners?

The next thread will be "What improvements should be made during the refresh of the 3IS? (Or could be called Pros and Cons)

I'm 26 and still struggling to decide if I should buy or not. I could buy one tomorrow using my own cash, but I can't really "afford" it, if you know what I mean. If I hadn't bought a Prius 4 yrs ago after college and kept using my parents car I'd already have pics of my 3IS up, lol.

A car is a poor investment, especially a new car. Actually it is not an investment at all, more of an appliance. Wait a little and buy a loaner car from a dealer. They usually sell them around 14,000 miles. Or wait a year or two and buy a used one if you can find it. Invest the money you would have spent and someday you can afford to spend money on a new car and absorb the loss.
