I'd say start with an acoustic, as well. An electric will be much easier to fret but you will probably (like others have said) pick up some bad habits. Plus, there is nothing quite as relaxing as grabbing your acoustic when you get home from work and plopping down on the couch and strumming a few chords. The electric seems to be more of a "commitment."
I see nothing wrong with buying used, just make sure you buy something decent. I've bought nice used instruments, as well as crappy ones. Same can be said for new. Most importantly, buy something that feels good in your hands and makes you want to play. Have it properly set up for action and intonation and you'll be good.
