Cars for daughters is always an interesting exercise
When my young Jedi Warriorette was ready for a car in HS, I told her that this was going to be the only car I would ever buy for her, period. We made all the cost sharing agreements, etc., but she knew this was it.
We settled on a used FJ Toyota, exactly the car she wanted. Horrible gas mileage but she pays for that. Eight years and over 100k without a pause in the action. She has been very meticulous with the car, very proactive in maintenance, etc. She interned for three years in college and now has a great job. She plans on keeping the FJ. Pity, I would like to buy it from her some day!
I really would approach this as the "last" car from M&D since it should be, at least in my mind.
My son got the old Tacoma, which is exactly what his little redneck soul wanted. God love him.
