Here's another "old guy" chiming in.
Given that all of these cars are 20+ y/o and have expensive maintenance / parts, you have to keep in mind that it's easy to spend $2K - $4K the 1st year in deferred maintenance / fixes. Even if you do 100% of the work yourself, the parts are expensive.
If you're heart is set on it, I'd make sure to keep $2-4K cash in your pocket to ensure you can keep it running and maintained the 1st year.
Otherwise I'd buy a cheaper and more economical (possibly newer) enthusiast car (GTI, WRX, etc..) until your funds are there to purchase a 911 outright with cash for maintenance and repairs. I love old 911s but i wouldn't want to own one if all of my money was tied up in one and it was my only mode of transportation.
