The problem with getting an older car cheaper is that there is a possibility that you will end up spending just as much on it as you would if you had spent more upfront on the newer model. There might be some immediate items that may need repair or replacement.
A higher mileage (~100,000) 2000ish Toyota, Honda, Acura that was well maintained is more than you need for 3 months and the sweet spot in my opinion. If it's nice enough you might even consider keeping it and putting another 100,000 miles on it before passing it along.
