how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?

You want details hah!
I bet....

CURRENT: mmf-2.2. A lemon, a complete junk in my opinion. A disaster from the start. What I can I do with it? It was delivered with missing screws, the lift arm level broke in 3 months, all I got in the name of warranty a list of things not under warranty. I don't want to criticize the brand, maybe I just got unlucky, they are otherwise great. 

What should I get for the littlest investment that would work better than this wobbly, squeaky  thing?

Never mind - it's an auction (thought is was a "buy it now") and the reserve seems high for a used deck.

Rega P2 is an easy recommendation. I had the P2 and it’s a solid table. A bit above your budget if you can stretch it. If you choose to buy new I suggest getting it from Upscale Audio and have them either mount whatever cartridge you decide to get or if you want to get it as a bundle with Rega cartridge have them check the table and cartridge. Free service. This alone is worth it if you’re not experienced with a turntable set up and or don’t have the proper tools to do it. They have a 60 day return policy if I am not mistaking.

I guess it comes down to the Fluance RT85 and te Rega P2, which one is a better value, and which one's looks I prefer. (Besides the other 4-5 options)

I had a 1200 series Dual and replaced it with the MMF-7 which was much better. If you have a $500 budget This is one of the best Dual TT’s ever made according to many. What you have now is the very bottom of the ladder TT's.

That Fluance TT is nice and it comes with a good cart.
