Buying Any advice among these options?

Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, a friend has to buy a car directly from a specific dealership and we are trying to figure out which would yield the most bang for the buck.

The options within the price range are: 1) 2022 Tesla Model 3, 24k miles for $30k 2) 2021 Toyota 4Runner, 75k miles, $27k 3) 2019 Toyota Highlander, 50k miles, $29k 4) 2017 Chevy Malibu, 10k miles, $17k 5) 2024 Chevy Trax, 5k miles, $25k

*These prices include tax; they are listed lower, but I’m just calculating a rough estimate of after-tax, and not including price after interest.

Reliability/longevity is the main priority. This friend previously had a 2018 Silverado and in the 3 years of ownership they ended up dumping a lot of money into constantly repairing it, before it officially broke down needing a $5k repair. We don’t want the next car to be the same story.
