For someone with little mechanical aptitude, high mileage cars have got to be off the table. You'll kill your finances in repair bills taking it to a mechanic, especially as you rack up the miles.
CAR A $8500 - Above budget and miles are still kinda high.
CAR B $4995 - A little high on miles.
CAR C $3199 - 215k miles? No...
CAR D $3350 - How many miles? Blurry pics, but looks OK.
CAR E $4000 - How many miles? Off-color fender indicates an accident.
CAR F $4500 - It's new enough that these are likely lots of long trips which are easier... but I'd still have a hard time recommending this one.
CAR G $3400 - High on miles.
Better options?
2004 Toyota Corolla
2007 Toyota Corolla LE 95k silver

I'm not a big fan of Ford, but this Focus seems to be priced well:
05 Ford Focus
The Civics I looked at are either high miles or high price until you get back to '01-'05 which I can't recommend (too many problems with mine...) Avoid VW and older Hyundai/Kia.
