Within the amount in your budget try finding a Corolla or Yaris but endeavor to get a 2010 or 2011 model. You may need to be patient and look around. If you buy a 2007/2008 model car you may not be able to get a comprehensive insurance for the car if you want one. Also, if a Corolla/Yaris has done 150K , it will be asking for maintenance and this may include overhauling of the engine which is going to cost you.
