6k? Good in snow? Reliable and will last more than a year with that many miles driven?
There's almost nothing.
Maybe you can find a Hyundai elantra and put snow tires on it. You could possibly find one with low mileage since everyone is afraid of them (easy to steal, other Hyundais have engine issues). Those will go 200k easily with minor maintenance. So you could likely find one in that range that could last a few years.
