Opinions: Used car? or new car?

[RX-7_TWINTURBO]

there are always ways to con a salesman into giving you a test drive
just go in with a nice new car like a new 4 runner or heavily modded car (bodykit etc.) it will look like either you or your parents have a lot of money and are itching to spend it
act really interested and work out financing plans and say somthing along the lines of "i am lookin for a new Summer or winter car" also say that your parents are going to buy it for you as a university gift
these methods will get you a test drive

When I was looking for cars I took my dads new Acura MDX. Needless to say, the sales people were more than glad to help me out

On the other hand, after looking at so many cars throughout my life, I am so sick of salesmen! Especially the really pushy ones. Its like, get a life dude, its not like buying a car is a 10 minute decision

I've had experience with FWD and RWD, more with RWD, i drive van which is RWD and the 4runner which is also RWD, drove em in winter, only spun once because of my lack of knowledge on the road, i didn't know when ot turn so i had to brake fast that was the only time i spun out. and i drove FWD in my class time with school (driving school) and my aunts car and such.

Until you've slid into the ditch going 120 on the highway because your RWD car hit an icy patch mid-turn...you really won't fear RWD like you should.
