I am thinking of getting a car, but wish to run it on biodiesel... for that I am told it is good to have a tough reliable motor, so my question is: what is a good, reliable, cheap, fuel-efficient, and biodiesel capable car?

Awesome!!!
There's tons of info on the Web from biodiesel enthusiasts. Here are a few:

If you're thinking used, the biodiesel folks around here seem to love Mercedes and VWs. There seems to be some fear of American makes, but I don't know how much of that is just politics. Biodiesel is pretty safe for any diesel.
If you're thinking new, you're outta luck -- but that's actually GOOD news. You know how the auto industry has kind of ignored diesel for years? Partly they were waiting for the Federal government to address diesel emissions, and for 2007 the Federal government finally made sweeping changes in fuel formulations and emissions standards.
So many automakers which didn't have diesel cars before, are jumping on the bandwagon and coming out with new clean diesels. They weren't ready for the 2007 model year (August 2006) but you'll start seeing them for the 2008 model year.
