Looking for a car for a friend

I have a friend with a 93 Chevy Lumina that is falling apart with about 180k on it right now. So, I offered to keep an eye out on craigslist for something for him. He said he'd like to spend about $6000 max, so I'm kinda limited on what I can get. He drives a lot for work so mileage is important, however he thinks the 25 mpg he gets in his lumina is 'pretty good'. He also has a fairly heavy foot. To top it all off, he has three kids and would like to be able to fit them all in the back of the new car, however this isn't a requirement. So, I'm starting to look out for a car in that range that gets descent mileage (30+ at least). It can need some work since I'd be willing to help him fix it up. You guys have any suggestions? I know theres the used car thread, but those are mostly very small cars. I have a good idea of what I'm looking for, but would still like suggestions.
