I have this guy from sears and it meets your price point but isn't what I'd call low profile.

When you’re on the side a highway fixing a flat there’s no time to mess around, theService Jack from Craftsman will slip under your frame fast, lift smooth and get you back on the road in no time at all. Don’t struggle with a flimsy manufacturer’s scissor jack, bring the right tool to the job and make tough work look easy, even in the pouring rain.
Not just limited to roadside emergencies, the The Craftsman 3 Ton Service Jack is the perfect garage companion for fast oil changes, tire rotation and helping you get under that car
which is hysterical because I wouldn't want to heft that thing out of the trunk for a flat!
