First kayak, need help!

Hey guys, recently i've gotten into fishing just locally (South-West Victoria) and i would love to go a step further, rather than land based fishing i'd love to get out on the water by myself and just flick some lures around.
I went into BCF recently after their boxing day sales and saw they had some cheap kayaks with rod holders, seats etc for about $599 but i didn't buy it because i felt as though they were cheap and nasty and i'd seen a lot of mixed reviews.
I'm looking for a beginner friendly kayak that is easily transportable, i'll only be taking it to lakes similar areas (rocklands and the other local lakes/creeks). I can't transport it on the roof because i own a company car and am not allowed to put roof racks or anything of the sort on. I want something that's stable and easy to move around in the water, i see a lot of the better kayaks are driven via peddles which would be great but obviously a lot more expensive i'm happy to spend up to $1000. They only means of transporting the kayak i have are a 2015 hilux with a tub, a 1990 hilux with a tray and i have a small trailer that is 1.9m x 1.3m that i could use which probably isn't ideal.
Any advice would be awesome!
