Buying a used car for $4000-4500?

I'm a college student at IU trying to buy a car in Chicago before the start of the school year. My budget is around 4-4.5k. I noticed that almost all the listings on cars.com, carsguru.com, craigslist.com are of cars over 100k miles. As a college student, i want a reliable car that does not cost very much to maintain. My questions are:
1. Are cars over 100k reliable?
2. After looking around, i found some options that i like which are: 05 Kia Sorento with 85k miles, 06 Hyundai Sonata with 100k miles, 03 VW Passat GLS w/ 100k, 04 Honda Civic coupe with 110k, 03 Nissan Altima w/ 108k. Which is the best?
3. Other brands (other than the obvious toyota and honda) should I consider?

Guy who changed my oil did something?

I have a 2011 Honda Civic LX, I went to the honda dealership where I got the car for a routine servicing: they did everything. I got the car back when I got home I noticed the part on the dashboard that tells me how many miles are on the car didn't have the milage, but it says "oil life 100%" how do I change it back so that I can see the mileage on the car? It's no big not I just like to know what my miles are, last I seen it was at 45,000

My tire rubbing the inside of my fender?

I just want to know why. I drive a honda 90 honda civic. The tire profiles are 195 60. Before anyone says it the tires, this only happens to the passenger side of the car and only when I brake.

What's wrong with my car? - 2

So I bought a 2001 4door honda civic, 5speed with a vtec engine & cold air intake. There's over 330 kms on the body but the original engine was replaced with this one at some point. ( no clue when or why)

I drove the car for a few days, and I noticed that when I placed the key in the ignition and turned it that it heisted to start (few times) but over all worked good.

The other day I was going into 3rd gear on a straight road (not fast) when it made a grinding sound. The front end lowered down and let out a bunch of smoke from the back as if I went into a lower gear when traveling at a fast speed. ( witch has happened to be before)

I pulled the car over ( but didn't turn the car off right a way) it could kinda go into gear but wouldn't let me move the car at all. I turned the car off and it would start up no problem but can't get it to move.

So I and a few people pushed the car off to the side of the road (where no traffic was) and it stayed there for 3 days. Come the time I needed to tow it, the car would no longer start up at all. The lights on the dash would come on but there was no spark or ignition to the engine nor the sound from the starter. ( the key was not left in it or the lights left on)

Come the following day when I had a chance to look at the car ( I'm no mancanic ) that I tried to start the car the lights came on once the second time no lights come on.

Now I'm left with no car, What could this be?
