There are a *lot* of options out there, to the OP I would again say don't concentrate on "less than X years old", buy condition and (for lack of a better term) capabilities - the capability of an old pickup to haul stuff, and be easy to fix, the capability of early WC VAG cars to deliver performance with economy, the capability of big old Detroit Iron to be easy to live with, easy to work on, and with a little fiddling perform much better than stock, the ability of Japanese cars to survive neglect and be ball-pein hammer reliable.
I would just say don't spend your entire budget on the car, unless you are dead certain that it really does "need nothing" (you do find these once in a while).
All the bold writing, cause some people just don't understand, or can't see what was originally written.
Why do you think I suggested the late 80s-90s Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas? Because they last longer, cost less to operate, and have a proven track record of reliability. What else? For $3k-$5k, the sky's the limit for someone looking for a low-budget, reliable, well built Japanese car.
Again...Why I suggested, the cars above. Comprehension seems to be your downfall.
Transportation businesses across the nation would disagree with you. Fleet cars are chosen primarily based on reliability and durability. They choose vehicles that make them the most money, which means vehicles that cost the least to operate in the long term. I can't say I have ever heard any of the vehicles you suggest going over the million mile mark, or even 500k... something the behemoths are capable of.

Go read, read, read...then you'll get what I'm saying.
You are wasting my time now.
Not many of the behemoths you want to claim, have done the same. So get off your soap box already.
Let's meet at the track with your behemoths, and any of mine, we'll see who'll complete the first lap.
You're tired and funny, just like the cars you mention. I'm done with you.
Not a fan of hearses, either (I prefer limos), but for me a hearse would be more fun to drive than a boxy Volvo.
A big interior, a very smooth ride and a big V-8 engine!
