It's often recommended to do the water pump at the same time since a lot of the work overlaps. In most modern cars a snapped timing belt is catastrophic for the engine.

It depends on the car you're looking for. I almost bought a used civic instead of a new one, but then realized it was actually the same cost to get a used or new civic (cause the new one had daytime running lights, which saved a ton on insurance), and civics lose very little value over the years. For most cases, I agree, buying used makes more sense, but it's not always true. Just want to point out that buying “new” isn’t always a bad idea. It depends on the car you’re looking for.
