I think all of you have forgotten what it's like to be her age. No concept yet of the "real world" and the realities of it. Also, young people never listen to older, more experienced people. She has made up her mind and nothing anyone says will change that. I remember buying cars because I "had to have it" and regretted it 6 months later only to dive into another one. On one hand I say buy it and hopefully you can afford to properly own it and enjoy it as a young women. On the other hand I worry about you getting in over your head. I'm concerned that you need a car to motivate good grades. The fact that you don't have the personal desire and the character to do it for your own sake disturbs me and makes me wonder how you will apply yourself to proper maintenance of this car. What "bribery" will it take to keep the car in good running condition. Regardless, you won't listen to what I've just said (written) any more than any other person so do what you will. I truly hope you can make the right decision and be happy with it. Patience is a virtue and one of life's most important lessons.
