to turbo or not to turbo

They say that if i wanted a turbo setup, it would be impracticle to buy a na, then upgrade. However, there are no turbos in my area, and i have access to a fairly cheap na. Right now I NEED a car. Mine died yesterday, and im strapped on cash. It seems as though im going to have to get an n/a and then upgrade. Money int he future isnt a problem, its just money now thats killing me, and i need a car to get to work and such. Should i buy a cheap car, then sell it when i have enough for a turbo, or should i go with a n/a now?

by the N/A, and just keep it running til you can afford a T2. Then get that.
I'd say keep the N/A around once you get the T2 though, in case you have problems with it. Like me

Buy a cheap beater. Then save for a TII. There is no excuse for people modding their daily drivers, in my opinion, as you need them daily. If its breaks, you are SOL.
Just my .02 though...
