You don't need a license to buy a car ... my mom didn't start driving until she was 72 and didn't give it up until she hit 84 ... and even then it was the family that took her off the road, not the guv'mint.

If you think you might be in line to inherit the car, then a Subie or Mazda should be your recommendation.

Otherwise the Focus might be a good choice, but the Corolla might be better because of its softer seats and suspension, and better resale value.

1) Smaller than a 1999 Buick Century
2) A very comfortable ride, like a Buick Centrury with it's couches for seats
3) Must be a new car


I realize that at her age, she probably will have her licence revoked, or should, but, like I said, I said i would look into it. :rolleyes:  Thanks everyone
