I'll let you have a 2008 Volvo C70 hardtop convertible with new Firestone tires, AC compressor, misc. with 160k for $4500. Top works flawlessly and it is a fun car for adults and youth. Cream leather and stone white color.

I think you're on the right track
I can confirm a mid 2000s Toyota Camry if it had any kind of service is dead nuts reliable easy to find parts for and so on
That's actually probably your best choice

I just bought an 07 corolla for my granddaughter. It is surprisingly peppy.

Over the last few weeks of searching mostly of FB Marketplace I was coming up with a bunch of Camry's in Murfreesboro. I have no idea why that particular element is in play but there were a lot in the $4K to $6K range and usually lower mileage than I could find down here.

Dude my neighbor had a Camry he was selling last see. A 05 model. Asking $4k. I'll check this morning see he sold it.

company cars maybe?

Nope. Most for sale by individuals. Quite a few on lots as well though

Wise decision and good ruck in your search

Get them the biggest vehicle you can to protect them because statistically they're going to bang it up but hopefully not themselves.

Crown Vic or grand Marquis

Mid 70s LTD with a 460. She'll be safe as being in an Abrams tank and she won't be able to afford get far from home.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. I hate small cars and won't let my wife drive one. And I vehemently protest when one of my kids or grandkids think they want one.

Have a 2003 Tahoe. At one time I bought a 1996 Isuzu Trooper, a full size SUV for sure, that was a tank.
Coming out of Dalhart Texas at about 70MPH, caught a glimpse of a deer coming out of the tree line. No time to stop, it was running straight towards me, BAM! After I hit it, stopped to access the damage. Some body damage, only found half of the deer. Noticed a vibration, part of blade of the fan blade(plastic) was missing. Was still able to drive to Amarillo Texas and then back to Colorado, where I did take to body shop.

My mom had a Lincoln with a 460. Flip up headlight covers - TANK! Had 9 ppl in that car once - don't remember being uncomfortable lol. Had a buddy who called it a boat - was more like a barge!

Scratch that… got to thinking, and it was a Grand Marquis with a 460 - flip up light covers etc.
