Default used car crew v. why did you get a used car?

I've been thinking about getting a new commuter in a year or two. Been weighting all my options and getting a used car is more tempting now.
Anyone here bought their car used? After buying the corolla, my view on buying used cars have changed h: They're not that bad.

i'm poor. not ramen noodles poor, but i spend my money on more importaint things. Any car will get me to work, to the girls, and to the store. Just got myself a new laptop that costs more than my car. Is that bad?

It's cheaper and i work on cars so it really doesn't bug me to fix it. If you don't work on cars then buying a used car is pretty risky.
