Another teacher input: (I've been a driver Ed. teacher for 32 years!) Your first call should be to your insurance agent: You may well find that there are other vehicles that will get her and her horn to school far more economically. Some vehicles have astronomical insurance costs. Like the fellow below says, the fewer seats the better, as your student won't be hauling the gang all over. A car full of kids is a disaster going somewhere to happen. I'm not a Ford fan, but could I suggest a Ford Fiesta or something like that? Find a car that's mechanically safe, but inexpensive. Then don't carry collision or comprehensive on it. That way you are actually your own insurance company on the car itself (BE SURE TO CARRY LIABILITY AND MEDICAL COVERAGE.) and if there's a ding or two on it, so what!! If a door or fender gets banged up, just get one out of a junkyard and bolt it on - so what if the color doesn't match. When student finally gets on their own and can afford a decent car they will treasure it, and care for it properly - especially if it comes from their own hard earned money. Autos collisions are the greatest killers and maimers on our children. Anything we can do to reduce that is worthwhile.
