Walk into a bank with indifference and ask to see an account manager - tell them you are thinking about switching banks and want to know what they can offer you. You want low/no fee chequing/savings and other high interest savings accounts - then mention you'd like an unsecured line of credit - prime + 2% is reasonable. If they ask why you need it, say you don't really - maybe 5 or 10 grand to bridge finance an unexpected expense/purchase, until your investment matures and build a credit history. Then shut up and see what they have to offer. You want to make yourself out to be a disciplined saver and investor - they are the best credit risk given your age.
Even if you get the LOC, it would be prudent to wait until you can pay cash. If your priorities and or situation change for the worse, it would be unfortunate to get caught up in the soup because of a toy.
