A VW tdi makes sense for that price range. Example, a local 2004 jetta wagon tdi with 70k miles is advertised for $11.5k. Most tdi's here have 100~200k miles. Then hope diesel fuel prices don't go crazy.
For me, maybe a 05~06 Elantra GT 5speed. They go for $5~7k, are loaded with leather, good reliability, 35mpg hwy and I can use EOC and pulse and glide to try for more. If my purchase price is $4k less, that pays for about 110 tanks of gas.
And ride my bike.
