There's a lot of free models out there already, and most models are created by individual artists. I encourage you to skip your coffee for a day if there's a paid model you really want to use, as you are directly supporting members of the 3DP community, rather than some corporation.

You can buy a Lenovo X1 carbon from a couple of generations back that still kicks ass for well under $500. I grabbed a Gen 6 with an I5 in it for under $200, slapped a m.2 SSD in it, and now I have an amazing daily driver that I don't have to worry about.
Toyota and Honda are the most depends and reliable. There's a reason they hold value the way they do. I have a Toyota Highlander and Honda Odyssey both over 250k miles, still running like champs.
