Buying used cars... friend or foe?

I myself have gone through 2 cars before getting my third used car. Let me also mention that those 3 cars all came to me within a month. The first, a '91 Toyota Camry (Station Wagon Version) seemed to check out okay, but a few electrical problems caused the downfall of this fine vehicle. Well, actually, it wasn't the elecrical problems' fault. It was my dad trying to FIX the problems.

The second car, a blue '90 Chevrolet Corsica seemed even better than my first car. Everything was just so much better... until we got it inspected. I didn't see it myself, but my dad said the whole bottom was in poor condition and covered in rust. Bye Bye Corsica.

Finally a '96 silver Subaru came into my possession. Nothing is wrong with it that I can see, and it runs very well. I can see two things that can happen in the future for this car. One, it can break down forever and die or it can run fine forever.
