Is $5k too much for a 2013 Chevy Sonic with 131,000 miles?

So, I'm trying to buy a car. It's priced at $4995. The place offers your W2 as a down payment. However, they said due to my low income situation they would have to deal with a finance company, get a cosigner, or put down $500 to $1000. I have a job and income I make $1000 a month. Shouldn't that be good enough? Maybe I can wait till my stimulus payment comes in to make a down payment. Then pay monthly payments which they claim start as low as $99 per month. They also have claimed no credit refused.
