You can easily be ahead getting a used car. The LGT is worth $5-7k around these parts via a quick look on craigslist.
I purchased my 2014 Mirage with 77k miles on it for $3500. I'm not sure she'd be comfortable with that small of a car, or with that massive of a horsepower drop lol, but there is one option. Most in the area go for about $6500 - $8000.
Personally, I'd look at used Prii though, 2nd gen, 2007 - 2009 model years. My in laws got a really nice one about a year got for $6k. Looking again on the local craigslist, these go for about $5-7k. You could do an even trade and start saving immediately. She won't even have to try to get 45+ mpg I bet, and they're rock solid reliable.
