My new Boxster!

$1000 for new Porsche factory wheels might work but definitely not new. Try looking at classifieds on Rennlist and Pelican.

That being said, did you have this car thoroughly inspected before you bought it?
Given the year and mileage, if you paid cheap for it then there's probably not been a whole lot of the big mainteance done. So like most responsible teens driving a Porsche (oh wait there aren't any LOL ) you're going to need to raise funds to stay on top of this car. At least $100 a month, every month whether you spend it or not it stays in the Porsche repairs piggy bank. Just one question if the car breaks down and you need to spend $1,000 for a new water pump and you alredy spent $1,000 on new wheels how do you intend to cover this repair?

Porsches are cheap to buy now but as car wisdom states 'costs of repairs do NOT scale down with the age of the car'.

p.s.
My first car was a mint condition Honda hatchback. I was too broke to buy it myself even though it only cost $2K so my parents had to pay MY bill. I ended up working in a fancy hotel as a banquet waiter and quickly repaid the loan. My second car purchased a couple of years later I paid for myself (largely through saving/investing), as well as paying for my undergraduate tuition. I did not qualify for financial aid and was not brainy enough to get a scholarship. But my first year out of college I made enough to have paid for school twice -- and I still kept the part time job which meant that I basically worked 6-7 days a week for about 6 years. I still drove that Honda until it was blowing out enough blue smoke to fill the whole block and the neighbohrs gave me evil looks. I drove an old Volvo 240 for a while which I thought was major step up. The Porsche would have to wait a long time as I was too busy building up a self-made financial empire!

p.s.
By teen-age do you mean you're 16 or an old teen-ager at 19? Boy the times have changed. I had people giving me crap about buying a Porsche just because I wasn't yet in my 40's. Granted, I still looked like a 20 something even though I was older. Not stressing over money (or exploding Porsche engines) can keep you looking young, longer.
