Buy used. It's cheaper and you can find great deals. Before you buy anything do your research, find which models are most reliable, which engine in each model is most reliable (there can be big differences), find websites where you can check car history by VIN number and always check car with the mechanic (pay someone to go with you so he can check the car as well).
