Take lessons from a good teacher. Ask someone who plays piano if they know a good teacher. The they could also give you the best advice on your question about buying a piano.

I strongly suggest taking piano lessons from a professional. Anyone can learn a tune on a pre-programmed keyboard, but to really play the piano (or the same keyboard) is more than just hitting the keys in the right order. You need the guidance of a person who has a fine-tuned ear to critique your performance to help you grow. Plus, you need to study the music theory to read the sheet music, so start getting some books, like The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory. Your teacher will also be able to help you with it. Good luck!

First step is to be clear on what you want to be able to play. The, if you have the money, find a teacher who is used to working with adults. Try the local sheet music store or community college for leads.
If you want to learn on your own, learn first to read music (not hard at all, really) and then learn chords. That'll give you some basic tools to "fake" stuff.
No matter what you choose, practice practice practice!

I learned the piano when I was 30 yrs. old. I taught myself. It was very evident that I did so, because I did not learn from a teacher. Try to hire a teacher.

There are courses on television in the middle of the night. They sell a video tape, and teach, not how to read music, but how to play by ear.
If you want to play popular music, and don't want to study for years before you can play, this might interest you. If you want to play classical music, perhaps private lessons with a tutor is more what you want..
