Default n00b. Should i buy?

ok, im 25 now. Since i was 8 i have wanted a red twin turbo Supra. I kind of gave up on owning one because people want to much money for them and i am always busy with school and work etc etc. Well recently i found one at a Toyota dealership, a red 1993 twin turbo targa with NO spoiler!!!! My dream car!!! whats even better is they are only asking $17k. They sold the car new, and maintained it all its life. It was owned by a doctor and received impeccable care. I commute so much that i started thinking wow i would just garage this car and still have to have a daily driver-probably not worth it. Then things get interesting. I find out it has 191,000 miles!!! This is great but bad. Bad because of all the questions of a 200k miles car, but great because i would never be afraid of driving it. Should i buy it? Why or why not? Will it be reliable with that many miles given the service history and ownership of the car? Should i just shell out the cash and buy it and have the engine rebuilt (i plan on making a 600-800hp beast anyway)? Should i buy it and drive it till it breaks? Only thing is work is 84 miles one way and school is 125 miles one way, i don't want to get stranded. Thoughts?
