Buying a new car for Mum is what you do after you've arrived at a life situation that also allows you to comfortably buy one for yourself. From what you've shared, you're not in a financial position to be buying anyone a new car, and leasing makes even less sense.
Dave is sometimes wrong, but not about how leasing is dumb.
My parents drive a 2003 Camry with 200,000 miles on the odometer. Your mum's Camry has a timing chain (if it's not the V6), so it's basically just oil changes from here on out. What does Mum want the new Camry for? If it's for bluetooth or something, you could possibly add that to her existing ride with a new stereo.
