She's already in a Japanese subcompact hatch that's falling apart - mechanically and physically, and desperately trying to get out of it. The fuel mileage is great, but the cost to make the car both reliable and safe is multiple times the asking price for the A*.
Not to get too personal, but I suppose choosing the Aerostar would make more sense if I mentioned that the other problem is her living situation - which, while slowly getting better with her new job, is still pretty ugly. She's used the hatchback as a place to sleep a few times already in the past 6 months; it's not comfortable, and DEFINITELY not private. At least with some cheapo 2.5% tint on the rear and side windows, a makeshift curtain behind the front seats and a Craigslist mattress, the van makes a decent dwelling for her when she literally has nobody to turn to. I'd rather drop the subject there than go further into it, so yeah. It's not just transportation that this van will be potentially used for.
