i too agree on getting both the head and block machined... i found out the hard way, $1500 to fix the head with metal gasket and arp studs, and then 2 weeks later she went again, bloody 7m! lol!
Now that the head (Full n/a head) has been prepared properly, aswell as the block (including a full rebuild) with a new HKS metal Gasket and ARP studs, the car has been running great and builds boost nicely 
Back on topic...
If youve got 15g, buy my supra and go shopping with the left over 5k lol!
As for the Supra as a first car, things will go wrong, expect that. Dont spend all your money otherwise you will nevber have your car on the road. Things break and fail with age, it just happens. The N/A 7M is tourquey, but lacks the grunt of either the turbo 7M or the 1JZ... while some say it will get you into trouble, i dont think it will as the SUpra is one heavy car!!!
Regarding the insurance costs... im 20, have had 1 accident and only pay 2500 a year for full comprehensive insurance on my 7MGTE. That is with me as only driver!!
Good luck in your unt for a Supra, i would try looking into an 89/90 model as they look better and have nicer interior than the earlier models
