Assuming you are actually in Tacoma where your sig says, these would be my choices in that price range on your area CL:
2000 Maxima (I have had one and they're pretty much bulletproof) high miles but the VQ30DE-K will basically run forever and the cars are simple with cheap parts availability and surprisingly decent aftermarket support. Two of them near you for under $3. https://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/d/2000-nissan-maxima/6735761602.html or https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/d/2000-nissan-maxima-se/6735859279.html
