Ideally I'm looking for an auto trans since it would be the wife's main car

Then this one:
2003 Honda Insight
You could more than likely get this one for under two grand and drive it as-is until you figure out the battery issue. As long as the CVT isn't shuddering like crazy it's a good deal.
I would not use the current gas prices (although they're awesome) as an indicator. Gas being this low will only last until the next threat of war, or the next oil spill, or a Chinese economic collapse, or any one of a huge number of imminent factors, and it'll drive the gas prices right back up there. Then the car you just bought for two grand will suddenly be selling for 4 or 5 grand again and you'll be thanking yourself!
