It's very easy to pull the trigger when purchasing a new or used car, but with the amount of questions/concerns brought up in this thread, I think it'd be best for you to purchase a more economic car for the time being. I completely understand the desire to purchase a sports car, especially when it's very affordable, but the S's insurance rates, thief-attraction, relatively high-maintenance costs, 2-seats, little cargo rooms will all add up. You especially don't want buyer's remorse as the S will be a hard sale in the winter (if you decide to sell after buying) and it never goes for that "good" price, unless it's being sold at the dealers.

Try to take your mind off the S for about a month and see if it's actually worth buying a car w/ 100,000+ miles.
That really is excellent advice. And, if you must have an S, wait until you can afford to buy one that's a little newer (both in terms of age and miles). I think I'd be very hard pressed to buy any popular sports car with over 100,000 miles on it.
