According to your priorities, my suggestion would be Mitsubishi Mirage. 2012 model in good grade and less mileage can be had for around 1050 ... it's new, modern, great legroom, decent pickup and amazing fuel economy.. yes might be a bit slow on resale but as you've mentioned it doesn't bother you at all.. Second option would be 2012 Passo .... Better resale but lesser car in my opinion. Good luck
