You won't find much in the $3 range. But you can definitely find something that is $6k or under. Civic, Corolla are all going to be around/under that much. There will be some Mazdas, but I would urge you to stay away from those because if they're not rusted now, they certainly will be soon.
You could probably get a used Subaru Impreza for around the $5k-6k mark as well, but it will likely be in the late 90s, early-ish 2000 range.
