Ben R. Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hello all-Well, the '05 V70R is up to 400 miles... hope I'm not killing the value.I'm a lot more aware of Volvos now that I'm driving one and have been noticing that, in general, other Volvo drivers appear a fair amount older than I. And that makes me wonder what the average age of R owners is. I could see us being younger, as higher performance cars generally appeal to younger audiences. And I could see us being older as the cars are more expensive and don't have "boy-racer" looks. So please humor me and post your age so I can stop wondering.I'm 36.Thanks,-Ben R.Marlborough, MA'05 Volvo V70R'92 Subaru SVX'74 Jensen Healey'68 International Travelall'66 Ford Thunderbird'65 Ford Mustang Fastback'55 Chrysler C-300 (Yes, it's got a Hemi. A real one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawless Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi Ben,I actually posted a similar question a little while ago, but more about the male to female ratio. I'm curious myself. I'm 38.Ken2005 silver/Nordkap MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer1568908304 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Right in the middle at 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheR Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I got mine to have something different then the every day Honda, Bimmer, or Ford. They all make something for everybody, just not me. 27 years young. I think the last time we did this there was someone as "old" as 19 with an R. All I can say is WOW!

defgh1 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well, I have owned 6 Turbo Volvo Station Wagons over the last 25 years since the age of 31. Three 765's, a 855, a 98 V70R AWD and the current 04 V70R. For you who have trouble with math that makes me a Old Fart. Doug H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
