Well, for the sake of doing it, let's find out how long Arda had been around when Gandalf left....

Third Age: approx. 3000 years
Second Age: approx: 3000 years
First Age (after the Exile): approx. 250? years
Before that: approx. 30,000 years

So, Gandalf is at least 36,000 years old, plus however long it was between his creation and being put on Arda.
