I am doing well financially. I have no debt and have about 100K saved up, so I can just buy the 2 seater out right. It'll run me about 35K. Everyday, for the past 2 months I look at the car listing to see if it's still there...

I guess the real question might be is this "want" of yours a true passion or will you be ready for something else in a year or two? You sound like you can afford this so that's not a big issue but make sure this is a real passionate want versus a passing fancy.
I think it's ok to satisfy real wants when you can afford them and you're sure it's something that you'll still enjoy many years down the road instead of something you won't care about in a year.
