Default Good Timetable for getting PPL?

In about a month, I'll turn 16, get a job, and use my parents' junker car for transportation (to and from school, band practices, work, parties, etc. etc.) until I can buy my own.

My main question here is should I start going for my PPL now, or wait until I have almost all of the money in the bank to take all of the lessons up to the PPL? I guess it mostly depends on how long it would take to get my PPL. From January to July, I'm open, but from August to December, I'm full. I might get a lesson in every other week or so, but I'd be pushing it. So with this schedule, how long would it take to get my PPL? Keep in mind, I don't want to go for my Instrument until I start college, that way I can use scholarship money to keep overall costs down.

So when should I start taking lessons for my PPL?
