Which of these cars should I buy?

My aunt recently helped me get out of homelessness. She wants to help me get a car for now until my job situation becomes more stable, where I can trade the car in and make payments. She's giving me 4k so that I can get the car, registration, plate, and insurance. I'm thinking the car would be between 3-3.5k. Here are some I found. I'm hoping that those who know how to fix cars can tell me which one I should pick, rather than just based on the make, model, and mileage. I appreciate all the advice and help in advance. Here are the five with links:
