It will be hard to find anything with under 50,000 miles for under $5,000. A nationwide search of autotrader.com suggests you'll mostly find the Saturn SC, Ford Escort ZX2, and Chevrolet Cavalier / Pontiac Sunfire. Possibly also an Olds Alero, Pontiac Grand Am, Dodge Avenger, or Chrysler Sebring.

If you were comfortable with more miles, you'd have more options, even among newer cars.

I agree. Your milage limitation is forcing you into a bad bracket. You could make it work with a nice salvage title car.
