For deep sky targets, aperture is king. The cheapest telescope likely to make you happy is an 8-inch Dobsonian, though larger is better. Dobs have no computerization and you have to push them to follow objects, but they give the brightest image for the money. How large a Dob you can fit in your car and still carry passengers is another question. Check out Orion at Telescope.com if you want a Dob.
