Maybe it's better to lower expectations, like getting a 17-year-old car for $7,000 instead?
I was replying to your statement that she could get a new Versa for $17K.

If her budget is $10K then the budget is $10K. She just isn't' going to get a 5 year old car for that. A search for cars less than 10 years old and $5,000 to $10,000 returns 171 vehicles within 50 miles of my house.

There is even this low milage Sonic with a manual transmission.
