Looking for some help making a decision.

I want to get my mom a new car. I have 30k cash, I'm thinking Toyota. Something midsize or maybe Highlander? She's been driving around in the same shitbox for the last 20 years and she is very practical so I can't talk to her about it, she won't let me do it until it shows up in the driveway. Just looking for a couple opinions don't want to buy brand new obviously something around 30,000 miles. Dependable new technology and open to other brands. Thanks in advance for any valuable input

you cam to the right place.
actually we've had 4 highlanders over the years. They were all solid vehicles.

I would consider the Rogue except I'm not a fan of CVT transmissions

by comparison, our nissan murano has had to be serviced for a few nagging issues. actually had the 1st one replaced because they couldn't fix an issue with the collision detection sensors.

30k can get a pretty decent used car. If you're willing to spend all that, then it's pretty much wide open for you. Just start looking around.

i wasn't either but we have had a Murano for 4 years and its been flawless.
Highlander is good but my issue with Toyota was lack of options on lower trims. If i wanted certain things i had to buy Platinum. That included a few things i wanted and a bunch of shite i didn't care about.
If she doesn't mind a sedan the new Camry is very nice and well priced. Also the new smaller SUV from Toyota is good The CRT i think?

For any reasonable good deal on a Toyota you need to go one step below ‘mom’ car size. Highlanders are popular with new moms or growing families so they hold their value very well.
I don’t have any recommendations, but I’d consider a used small domestic since it’s just her. Amazing gesture btw

I actually had a Murano and then it flooded out in 2016. I love Nissan's actually, currently own a Armada but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Only reason I have one is because I know how to work on them. I want to get my mom something that is Bulletproof

Subaru

For 30k, I'd get a low mileage used Lexus, maybe an ES350. And I'd shoot for one the pre-owned certified that'll give her an extended warranty.

$30k will get a used, low-mileage Lexus ES300 - Toyota dependability with a little luxury and prestige for mom.
