Teaching jobs in Cyprus are generally not well paid in the private sector, which is probably where you will work as there is no chance of a job in the state sector. The wages could start as low as euro 1700 per month. Many jobs are filled with Cypriots waiting for a state sector teaching jobs.
For the state sector Apart from needing To be Cypriot and speak Greek there is a massive queue of graduates all after teaching jobs, on a buggins' turn next basis. They are very well paid. In some subjects the waiting time is potentially over 10 years.
I doubt any school has accommodation so you are looking at renting. You will be able to get internet and at the moment it is a buyers market for cars. Just depends what you call reasonable. There are plenty of websites showing car prices. They can however be relatively high compared to eg UK.
I know some private schools are supposedly struggling and staff have been laid off. In one school, American Academy Limassol and Pafos, (not AA Larnaca, different firm) I am told they had not been paid their proper wage for months.
Best bet is probably to get the CV in and then ask the questions but be prepared to be disappointed both as to availability of jobs and the wage.
