I would rrecommend a BMW 235/528/530 wagon, 2wd with the sport package. Early to mid 2000 models are available well maintained with sub 100K on odo for well withing your price range.
To me the wagon handles better than the sedan, you have the benefits of SUV cargo space, get close to 30 mpg highway, etc. I've gone thru 3 of them over the last 15 years...all purchased in the 80K mile range and gotten 250K+ miles without any major problems other than routine maintenance like shocks/struts/brakes (at the 125-150K mile mark). Plus the wagons are usually 2$2-3K less than a comparable sedan.
