I see that gas mileage and reliability are two of your criteria. I could narrow down a list even further if you had given a little more criteria such as, car, truck, or SUV, 2 door or 4 door, luxury? performance? etc. But here is a small list of cars that are both good on gas mileage and have either great or better than average reliability. For $5,000 the year of the certain make/model will differ.
Honda Civic
Honda Accord
Honda CRX
Honda Prelude
Toyota Corolla
Toyota Camry
Toyota Celica
Nissan Sentra
Nissan Altima
Nissan Maxima
Ford Escort ZX2
Nissan 240SX
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Acura Integra
Toyota Tacoma
Ford Ranger
Toyota 4Runner
Honda CRV

You should look for a low mileage, well maintained small sedan. Something that has one owner and is in very good condition for the age of the car. No more than six to eight years old.
Any make or model is fine as long as it meets those requirements. It can be a Dodge or a BMW, a Chevy or a Audi, Honda or Mitsubishi it doesn't matter as long as the car is in great mechanical shape has been well taken care of and still looks good.
In other words, in that price range CONDITION is the most important thing to look for, not the name on the grille.

Id say a 2000-2002 civic,
don't go American made for that price because your probably going to get a lemon.
