I wouldn’t rush into financing a vehicle. If you have money saved and start to generate income - go buy a Honda or Toyota that is used. Pay cash, don’t finance.

To piggyback off of this, remember that you are the one with the buying power. If the deal doesn't seem right to you, walk away. Find another dealership that would be willing to help you get what you want. Some are more than willing to help you buy car with them instead of their competitors.

Are sites like Caravana and Carmax good places to look for used cars? Also, what mileage should I be looking for?

I would go to a used car lot, maybe at a dealership but also any marketplace would do. Somewhere you can bring the car to a certified mechanic and have them check it. That should be a third party mechanic, not the dealership mechanic.

They tend to be on the higher end for price, and folks pay it for the convenience. Unless you can't, I'd try local dealerships first. Seeing and driving the car is worth doing.
