'03 Infiniti G35 sedan.

I _LOVE_ mine, and you can get them for pretty durn cheap - I paid $10k for mine with 99k on the clock. It's a real champ!

Might be a bit more than you're looking for though..

That is good advice, then. No use in her keeping a car, although I assume if she ran into financial issues now she'd be fine whereas if it's HER car, she may have to stretch differently. Also, who covers repairs right now? Because a used car WILL need them. If you've not had them yet, you're lucky.

She covers repairs now. This Focus has already required some $500 in repairs.

I've seen some Saturn Auras get that cheap and there very solid cars imo and look nice

Yep, been looking at those.

Do those require any unusual maintenance near 100K? I know she'd prefer a lower mileage car, but if its as nice as a G35 sedan..hmm.
