You can find some good deals on vintage Japanese classicals in that price range. I like the older Hirade H8 models (late 70s to mid 80s) or some of the lower model number Yamaha GC series. The Aranjuez from the mid-70s with Kohno shop tops are also really nice. Note that some of these may have 660mm scale lengths--still very playable and sound great, but some people have an aversion to anything longer than 650.
FWIW, I have a 2000 Bernabe M10 spruce that I may be listing soon. Price point is a bit above yours, but let me know if you might be interested.
