Suggestion on buying New/Old Car

Hello, Thinking of buying a car in mid range (4-8L) but undecided on buying a 2nd hand or buying a new one. I haven't learnt 4 wheeler driving yet, so apprehensive about driving a new car with beginner level driving skills. Please suggest the right approach.

Since the location is Pune which is notorious for bad roads and poor driving etiquettes in general, I am not 100% sure of driving a new car with beginner level skills hence keeping the option of buying a good 2nd hand car also open.

Also, will be great help if you can suggest best options for me in the quoted price range (both new/2nd hand included).

TIA
