Very true, I work for people like that. They buy houses like we buy cars.
Just a thought on your daughter's situation. Don't they have buses in Tucson? I'm thinking the lesson might really sink in, if she's without a car for awhile.

If only she could take a bus!
Public transportation is limited to certain areas. First you need to get to a route. Then you need to time the arrival of the bus. Then you need to get to the closest point of debarkation and walk to your destination.
Great if it all comes together, which seldom happens.
She's a good kid, works hard, and a week without wheels was purgatory for her. Tough choice, but we emptied her college fund, bought the replacement car, and told her that her last semester was now on her.
Also told her to take a good look at the wrecked car and see what her money bought The new car is still MINE!
She also pays for the insurance, and she is on the hook for the inevitable rate increase. Start saving.....
I'm still saving the 250C for her, though. I'm still a softie.
