<prompt> Human: Ive been told several times that used cars are the way to go, ive only driven used cars my entire life. A few years ago i got a great 0 APR on a new car. Which I just totalled. I have insurance, waiting on all the gears to turn until I get a check but Im already trying to get into the car buying mind set. Which is gonna be a lot of fun car shopping without a car.Im just kinda scared to buy a used car. They always say just save up money for repairs when you buy a used car and youll come out better financially in the long run then locking yourself into monthly payments but i really enjoyed the comfort factor of always knowing my brand new car a warranty, etc was always going to start.Im a sales person and spend a lot of time in my car so its kind of a big purchase for me which has me super nervous.EDIT: wow thank you for the advice. I knew there would be a common denominator that smarter people then me have already kinda discovered, thanks.EDIT 2: While we are talking about this, whats the best way to hunt for a pre owned certified car? Just look at dealers in my area? I feel weird buying a car sight unseen via some car searching web site when im not really picky about makemodel as i am pricedurability.  <response>: You have to get into the mindset that buying used doesnt mean buying a piece of shit. A two year old vehicle will be infinitely cheaper and will still be a reliable, low mileage, probably still under warranty mode of transportation.
