(Sorry about that, cat on the keyboard)
if it was my daughter I'd pick something else.
I have several late model 9000s and they have several well documented problems that can strand your daughter without warning. Most everyone on this board has had an experience with a bad DI cassette, fuel pump, failed automatic, cooling system failures or some combination of the above.
Through religious maintenance and drivers with good mechanical sensitivity I can keep mine on the road fairly well but even mine wind up being flat bedded home now and again. My '97 had a thermosat failure recently, my '96 has been towed home having flung it's belts off, coughed a fuel pump and lunched 3 automatics in the first 100k miles.
If you're committed to it, at a minimum I'd suggest a spare DI cassette in the trunk along with the tools to change it.
