• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Is the Telly an old person car? A young person car? Both? Neither?

27 here! I'm probably on the lowest tier of ages that are purchasing Tellurides, but it'll work for us and our towing needs/future family hopes. From what I've seen, the Telly has been ultra popular for 30s-50s.
 
22 here, bought before I turned 21 last year. Always wanted an SUV and this had everything I was looking for. Was in a good place with my job and also become available after I was in an accident with my Forte so timing "worked out" I suppose.

28 here. One kid family but try for another kid in a year or so.

You're definitely the youngest person I have heard of! My son is turning 19, and this would not be his car of choice.
 
I'm 29, and I'm hoping to purchase next year. Most of the Tellurides and Palisade I see in my area are driven by older people.

I never see any Tellurides. It's interesting that there's quite an age range here....Or maybe that's just normal. For me, it's a bit of an odd purchase because I don't have little kids to haul around any more or a hobby that requires packing a lot of stuff. When the pandemic ends, I do plan to take a lot of long-distance trips though. I think it will be super comfy for that.

I drive an 01 Mustang and I'm sick of sitting on the ground and feeling unsafe in traffic. My mother has a version of MS and it's ungodly hard for her to get in and out of my car now, and it's a struggle most days for me because it sits so low. My family doesn't have a car currently that seats 4 comfortable, or 4 at all. I don't have kids or a hobby to warrant the size of a Telluride, but I don't really care. We had a 94 Explorer that I learned to drive in and I miss being in an SUV. If I can't get into a Telluride, then the next option is an Explorer ST.
 
How about soccer grandmoms? I’m 69. I don’t have to lease, I don’t have to go in debt, I can afford better insurance! Lol!

I guess that depends on what you consider super old, there was a time when I thought 30 year olds were super old. Now I’m 29. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I have seen a lot of tellurides around where I live and they all look to be 30+ for sure.
It don't matter your age if you can afford one, get one
