Bike buying advice

Hi folks,
I am interested in buying a bike to use on paved trails at some parks nearby. I'm on a very tight budget $150 for bike + rack. I'm not interested in a bike for riding on the street, just for trails. South Florida is pretty flat, so hills will be minimal.
I am thinking of a cruising bike that I can also add some storage to (maybe a rear rack) for picnics, times when I want to take pictures, etc.
I'm a little confused on what to look for in a bike and car mounted rack (I have a 2-door civic).
Any suggestions would be very helpful! I'm open to buying used.
Thanks in advance

Well for your limited budget, I would watch craigslist for a used trunk mounted bike rack, it will use straps to hold the bike to the trunk and rear bumper and have 2 arms to set the bike on.
