Female driver, first car, $7000 budget

A girl at work ask me to help her find a car. Criteria are

 

Four door

Automatic transmission

Preferably compact (Asian female driver)

And $7000 budget

 

I tried to look on Craigslist and autotrader but only find imports with 150k + miles and American made but full size sedans.

something like that, at least the Japanese don't make their small cars quite as cheaply as their Cobalt and Focus counterparts.

 

Seems like with a $7k budget there should be a some decent examples of smaller cars.

Seconded. I got right around $7000 on trade-in for my 3, so a used one can definitely be found in her price range. At 80,000 miles, it was as strong as day 1.

First off an Audi with 175k is not reliable, plus it weighs 2 tons.

 

E46 is RWD, (does it have traction control?) not good for someone learning IMO. Plus she is a high schooler and will dent a pretty car.

 

Suzuki SX4 $4k

 

Nissan Maxima 06

 

Scion TC 06 w/ Salvage title, perfect for her, comes pre-wrecked!
