I agreed with Joshua's recommendation. My 1st car's a 9yr old Nissan, 2nd car's a 8yr old ESi. I clocked up my NCD and experience driving these 2 old cars and it proved that such method can be very beneficial for new drivers who wants to own a car without burning 2 big a hole in the pocket... Problematic the cars may be but it's a good learning experience on how to better maintain your car when the next better one comes along. For a new driver, unless u r loaded, else it's not really advisable to buy a new car co of the high insurance premium and high depreciation nature of the car.
Good move there.

it maybe old car but still you change car every year or so

in this way you dun lost so much as to those who buy new car and after 2 or 3 years and want to change.
To prevent from getting a problematic car, either you know some mechanic or a good 2nd hand dealer, best is you know a thing or 2 during the test drive like the listen to the gear during move, change, up and down slop, and of couse the engine. one other thing to look out for is the suspension.For those loaded you can, to me it a waste of $$$.
