It's a tough call, and there are no guarantees with 100k+ mile cars, or not many guarantees with 5-7k cars. At this price, probably everything you mention will have 100k miles, except the Focus, and all will likely need something before too long. The Pontiac Vibe is a Matrix clone, btw, and can be bought for less. With the 9000, you can probably diagnose remotely most of what goes wrong, and guide fixing if she can find a reputable/capable local indy, even if he's not a SAAB specialist.
