I'm about to buy a new oscilloscope,... Tektronix TDS 420A... Rigol
If you really are a beginner, It's maybe the best choice to just follow the masses, and buy the new Rigol, like everybody else.
There will be plenty of videos on internet, tests based on that model, tricks, howto, and even repair info if you blow it up.
With all this new DS1054Z can do, and the low price, I really don't see a reason to buy a used scope anymore.
(except if you can have it for 20 euro, or if you want the specs from a device worth 10K)
