Depending on where she's located and availability of a mechanic nearby I'd seriously consider a 2002 or 2003 Saab 9-3 5 door. You can get a low mileage one for half your budget, and there's a cult of independent mechanics who do very good work for next to nothing. I know of a great one in every city I've lived in. They are also right up there w Volvo for safety. I was in a horrible accident in on, dodged a deer and hit a tree that had been cut down and left at the side of the road to be picked up the next day. Rolled it 2x and got out without a scratch on me.
