I've got a Canonet QL17 and I'm quite pleased with it. It's on the pricey side in terms of old school rangefinders (probably the most expensive one out there without a removable lens), but it's pricey for a reason.
Downsides: * Shutter priority and full manual only, no aperture priority. * Most of 'em need replacement light seals * The Mercury battery issue. Budget another $35 for a CRIS Camera MR-9 adapter.
Should still be under your $100 limit, though.
The other rangefinder I have experience with is the Minolta Hi-Matic 7, which is also nice but much bigger than the Canon. Same battery issue. I can't remember whether it has aperture-priority or shutter-priority (mine has a messed up lens, so I've only run a couple of rolls through it).
Oh, and the Argus C-Four, but that doesn't have a meter at all and my copy's rangefinder is messed up. Also, its shutter is as loud as an SLR.
