We've all been there: gotten good advice and ignored it.
Let me just toss in here that a typical mid-range 964 may be available to you at, say $18K. You MUST have a qualified Porsche mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and when you do, expect to find a lot of "deferred maintenance" on the car. You could easily burn through $2K on your first shop visit.
You need to shop for insurance and make sure the premiums won't kill the deal. You will need a low deductible, as the company financing the car is first in line to collect if anything should happen.
Think about all the things you could do with the money you're potentially going to spend on this car. At 19, you should be out collecting experiences, not tying yourself to steep payments.
