YACT: getting company car

The company I just started working for has said they'll get me a car in the $6k range. After talking with my brother (who looks for car deals everyday) and my mechanic friend i've narrowed my searching down to:

1) 1994 Acura Integra LX @ $5650 (white)
automatic, new tires and brakes w/ 76k miles

2) 1996 Toyota Camry LE @ $5450 (white)
automatic w/ 66k miles

3) 1999 Toyota Camry LE V6 @ $5900 (grey)
automatic w/ 103k miles

4) 2000 Toyota Corolla CE @ $5950 (green)
automatic w/ 79k miles

We're probably going to be trying to check it out and get it this weekend. They're going to be paying for it up front so we should be able to talk down the price right? I have a camry and I think they are awesome, just wanted to see what ATOT thinks. Biggest concern is reliability and minimal issues. I'll be checking carfax's and taking test drives over the weekend. If you've owned one of these let me know how it's held up, I've read alot on carsurvey and these all get good reviews.
 
They are all automatic, so don't get any of them.

Of those choices, I'd probably get the Acura...should be more fun to drive than the Toyotas, and get good mileage.

i cant drive stick yet, if i could there would be many many more choices, i'll learn one day. i'm gonna test drive the acura first i think. i saw someone on carsurvey say they got 37MPG with their integra.
 
Akkk/ I wouldn't buy a single one of those. But if you must, then I'd say #3, or #1. All of them have pretty high miles except #2, so I would get this inspected by someone you can trust first. I could do it myself, and do whenever buying a used car, but if your not that knowledgable, get a professional, or at least a friend that knows cars to look at them.

my friend is ASE certified and works at sears auto, so im gonna try talking him into coming with me to have a looksie. As to the cars, I think I could do alot worse, there's tons of ford/chevy/mitsubishi/saturn cars that i could have picked but was advised against. hondas retain their value too well and not many are in my price range.
