For your purposes, buying a new inexpensive miter saw would be the best course.
A good quality saw is about twice the money you are willing to pay.

Lowe's has a Kobalt 7-1/4" 9-Amp Laser Sliding Miter Saw for $109 brand new. It's only a 7-1/4" blade but you are not cutting 4x4's anyway. The sliding feature should allow you to cross-cut flooring. It will cut a 2x8, so if your flooring is narrower than that and all you need to do is cut it to length, should work for the application.

I have a craftsman saw like this that I have had for about 5 years that I used for crown moulding in my old house: Been stored ever since.

PM me if you want to come look at it.

There was one specification for the Craftsman saw that concerned me:

Voltage: 120V Duty Cycle: 30 minutes

Cutting flooring is probably not a continuous cutting exercise that would extend beyond 30 minutes. The buyer might want to take a few scrap pieces of wood similar in dimension to the actual flooring to make sure that it will fully cut to the angles required.
