David, buy a used one, three-four years old (a decent owner will have discovered and fixed the inevitable glitches). There are tons out there and as noted above, you can start enjoying it immediately. I went with a slabside turn-key and it still took over a year. One other bit of advice (you did ask), don't fall into the trap of getting an over-loud, over-powered car. I've seen three deaths over the last year due to cars with too much power for the wheelbase/lat. "g's" of this vehicle. If you get one that sounds like a race car you'll incur two things, pissing off the neighbors and making sure you won't have the pleasure of female company.

Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!
