For your budget pasok ang early 2000s X-plate Sentra Exalta and Cedia Lancer na 1.6L A/T. The Lancer is sportier while the Sentra is more luxurious. Normally, a male buyer would pick the Lancer and a female buyer would pick the Sentra.

Tingnan mo ng maigi inside and out as to which one you prefer. Although if you ask me, mas gusto ko talaga ang design ng Lancer inside and out. Engines for both are pretty similar in terms of power, though the Sentra should be the more refined between the two as it has the newer engine. The Sentra is also more feature packed (4 wheel disc brakes with ABS/EBD, dual airbags, automatic climate control, leather seats, etc, etc...). For you I'd recommend the Sentra over the Lancer, but if you plan to sell it again anytime soon, it is worth noting that Nissans do not have good resale values.
Toyota car? Hindi pa kasi papasok sa budget mo ang Altis eh. Pasok sa budget mo late 90s to early 2000s "Lovelife" Corolla. Boring...
