Thing there is, she doesn't want a sport utility...she specifically wants a 4 door sedan. In addition, I don't think she'll be able to go that new..probably not much newer than early '90's, and maybe not even that new (she's going back to school for a career change, so $$ is rather tight)....

If she's a DIYer or you'll handle maintenance and repairs, no problem.

Does she drive in areas where Diesel fuel is available? It might be a tough sell if she has to go out of her way to refuel.
I'll be handling maintenance and repairs wherever possible, which is IMHO another point in the 300D's direction; takes less specialized tools to work on, and are infinitely easier to work on. I've been doing all of the maintenance I've been capable of doing and/or have the tools for on the Pontiac, and have thrown many 4 letter words at it in the process.

In this area, finding diesel's not a serious problem...that was one of her initial concerns, but I think I've demonstrated that there are more diesel stations around than there appears to be.
