I think trying to put perfective on the purpose clause here is to attempt time travel, where my current action causes an already-completed action. If you can say *vIghro' vIje'meH Huch vI'anmoHpu'** to buy the cat I sacrificed money,* and you apparently can, then what exactly does adding perfective to the purpose clause do? Maybe *vIje'ta'meH* means *so that I close the deal?*
That's how I'd interpret it. If there had been a lot of haggling, or my credit card kept getting declined, and so I just decided to slam down some cash to get it over with, I think {vIje'ta'meH} would fit perfectly.
