Age/Income Poll - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Stang70Fastback · 04-09-2015, 06:06 PM

KevinK121 created a poll in another thread, and there seemed to be quite a bit of interest in the results, but most of us agreed we needed more options. So I'm re-launching the poll here with a wider range of options that I think might help give us better "resolution."

To stick with his original theme, this should be your Age and Income when you purchased your BRZ (or FR-S, you poor, unfortunate soul). If it was a gift to you, please do not participate in the poll. Thanks!

I'm not too sure about the age ranges, as 25 is totally different from 33. But this is a big improvement over the other!

Stang70Fastback · 04-09-2015, 06:34 PM

Yeah, I could have broken it down even further but I didn't want to do TOO many options. Someone could always create a Version 3.0 poll, lolol.

I'm 16 and my dad is a 1%'er. He gives me a 1M monthly allowance.

Your reasoning assumes a $30k salary can pay for a car.

In reality, a $30k salary is the same as someone gifting you the car... because most loan places would not offer you something competitive with that type of annual income.

There is no "reasoning" behind any of the options on this poll. It's simply covering all age ranges and incomes.

So why exclude those that got the car as a gift if you are trying to cover all ranges?

Anyone not making enough money to support a new $30k car should be excluded, that's all I'm saying.

Only one in my young age group in the 25-69k range here so far it looks like.

Automatic86 · 04-09-2015, 06:44 PM

I read the poll wrong, income is the same, my age was a year off =/=

I dunno. You'll have to ask the person who originally created the poll. I just copied his requirements and expanded the options.

I assume his reasoning was that he wants to know what kind of income people had who consciously took on a car payment. If you were gifted a car for free by your parents, it doesn't matter what kind of income you have; it was free. You have no payments to make. You weren't basing getting the vehicle on your income.

If you don't have any other bills because you live with your parents, but you decided to take on a car payment because you can pay just that with your $30k income (terrible idea, but whatever) then I suppose it still represents that you considered your $30k income to be sufficient for you to purchase the car. I mean, it kind of makes sense if you're just trying to gauge people's thought processes. We all know anyone choosing the <$30k option is getting help one way or another, but there's no sense in excluding them since it doesn't hurt the data in any way.

Hooray I am not alone in my category!

Oops ... I voted and I have the FR-S, not the BRZ.

30 versions may not be enough.

A) The relevancy depends upon people on the Internet being truthful.
B) There is no distinction between personal or household income.
C) Everyone voting based on USD?
D) No matter how perfect the poll is made nor how many options there are, someone will find something wrong with it.
E) Fishpockets.

On the plus side, I don't feel quite as old now!
