I think only the last three fit into your budget. Also civic (ES series), Corrolla (121) are in the range and fit your mentioned requirements. New cars - A-star, Maruti etc. Unreg - Viz, Fit, Demio.
Buddy no offense, but the logic is pretty simple. Its something like this: Increase in tax → higher initial cost of ownership <but with no increase in purchasing power> → decrease in capacity to purchase a recon\brand new vehicle → increased demand for second hand cars → higher prices for second hand cars.
Now there are several assumptions in the above reasoning but none of these have a serious impact on the actual SL second hand market.
If you don't understand this then i guess you could go on asking for other's opinion but that'll probably piss a few people off and you seriously should reconsider it..
Also before you ask then you could search, not because I rue the question but cos there was an extensive discussion on a similar topic some time ago (albeit a reversed scenario)

Rolling resistance is positively related to the width of the tire. So a wider tire should theoretically offer less rolling resistance. So as Sifaan points out, the poorer fuel efficiency may be due to weight, inertia etc
Well so much for searching the forum for questions you wanted to ask. Now its searching for answers you want to give!
Just kidding mate, thanks for sharing!
I thought the City was reserved for the export version and was mainly made in India and the Fit Aria which was JDM was made in Thailand?
BTW happened to see the latest version of the City parked at Arpico and it looked pretty darn good
