I'd say raise the budget just a thousand or so to stop competing with the high school and college students. Look for a 2002-2006 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder with relatively high miles.
For under $5000? Ford Focus with Zetec 16v motor, Pontiac Vibe (Corolla underpinnings), high-mile Pontiac Grand Prix (04-up) or Impala LS with 3800 V6, 2000-2002 Saturn SL2 with low miles (should be WELL under $5K), 2000-up Subaru Legacy with lower miles, 2001-up Honda Civic, there are others....
The trouble is trying to find a good one. It's VERY difficult for someone who doesn't know cars. I'm astonished at what's out there.
