Additional questions..
Should i avoid buying USED guitars as a whole?? is it worth it, as i dont know how to check them..
I heard that buying guitars from physical stores are much better because THEY will tune the truss rod adjustment and saddle-fine tuning (whatever that means :P), is it so...??
Is the gig bag or whole package thing necessary??
Also the only friend i can ask for help in this area, is out of town, so i cant take him with me to buy the used one..
Im all alone in this one, and i cant afford to make a bad purchase which can ruin my learning experience.
Thanks..
As you seem a complete beginner my recommendation is to go to a guitar store (or several guitar stores), they will help you by selecting the best option for your budget.
Generally Yamaha makes very nice entry level instruments. It's a good starting point.
Good luck!

Except the Yamaha part...
I agree with Nuno. visit a store. the best way by far. look, touch, feel, play the guitars they have. don't be afraid to ask questions. a guitar and a case or gig bag is all you need.
my favorite guitar found me when I strolled around a guitar store.
