Anything Toyota... Best quality in my opinion, and great deals now since Obama decided to try to destroy Toyota with all the recalls and investigations... As if Ford and GM haven't had recalls 100 times more fatal and worse? Toyota is not unionized, and they're too much competition for our president's pet project; GM.
Dependable, but half way cool for that range is gonna be pretty much impossible. With a lot of legwork you might be able to find a vintage car that's been restored that will be dependable and stylish, but don't expect to find something like that quickly.
My 1960 Austin Healey Sprite was only slightly above that range and b/c it had a full resto pretty recently it's been very dependable.
