What to get for 5k

I just got a 98 Honda crv for $500 with a burnt exhaust valve. All the repairs cost me another $500 in parts. It is all wheel drive and get near 25mpg and has not given me any trouble in close to 20, 000 miles. Has a decent amount of room to haul stuff with the rear seats folded down and comfortable to drive. With what I have seen come into the shop I work at there is nothing from a us auto maker I would buy made in the last 15 years besides a pickup.
