So here's the deal:

I had a similar situation as you for a long time. I was 19 or 20-ish when I first learned about the twins and reeeally wanted one. That was about 4 or 5 years ago.

At first I thought "well, I think I can afford it" and I got super into the idea of owning one early.

Turns out the costs would really get prohibitively expensive unless you're honestly pretty affluent. I don't mean rich, but have a decent source of income. Since you're in school, I'm guessing you have to pay (whether that's your parents, scholarships, or loans that pay) tuition bills.

I highly recommend taking a pass on this car for now, getting a job if you don't have one, and working your way up. Save some money now if you can and buy a cheaper car.

For me personally, I ended up working all through college, saved if/whenever I could, and am finally buying the car now (graduated late last year and have a full time career job now).

Don't push it unless you know you'll be comfortable affording the costs.
