Right now the supply of new bikes in your price range is best described as being dismal. Ditto for the supply of used bikes at reasonable prices. So many people stuck at home have decided to take up cycling that there is a nationwide shortage. If you do go the route of buying a used bike see if you can find someone who knows the difference between a decent bike and a piece of junk to help you. I used to cruise around the neighborhood looking at garage sales (very few these days) and while I would find a fair number of little-used bikes, most of them were from mass merchandisers (Walmart, Target, etc.) and not worth more than a glance.
