Not a bad tank, but ain't no armour on that.
Anyway, if you DO know what you're doing, then a T8 is probably fine, but looking at the current T8s on sale, most of them are above your budget and many which are cheap still have little effective armour. Also, the BEST moneymaker premiums are ones which can fast-flank, use all or mostly regular ammo, and have good damage output - and those are all paper MTs like the Lorraine 40t or the Spaghetto 46. So selecting for which tank is going to make you the most money isn't really going to fly, to be honest. Just go for something you feel you can do well in, which is really the most important thing in terms of making money.
I'm currently seeing two tanks within your budget in the shop with reasonable turrets and which are decent all-round: The T-54 1st prot and the Cent 5/1 RAAC.
The Cent 5/1 is also on sale right now for only 28% off which puts it at $40 (That's Canadian, but the AUD is usually almost identical). The Cent also has far better pen on its standard ammo (190 vs 226), which is pretty crucial for making bank, though it's worth noting that the T-54 prot's shells are so cheap they're practically free. But the Cent 5/1 is faster (though with a lower PtW) AND better armoured, AND has better gun depression (10 vs 7).
