Your Opinion
A friends daughter has trust I me to get her a second hand car, Peugeot, Yaris or something similar, I would do this gladly, one Issue she has a £1000 to spend & I know well it's not a lot which I've told her, the mileage is going to be high within reason, may not have service history & as tried tested, would you use your own money or hers, she just wants the car to appear on her door step.

She is being totally unreasonable, entitled and foolish.
As an adult she needs to be making decisions for herself, not least is this car comfy? Judgements only she can make.
Guiding her is one thing but to have the full purchase plonked in your lap TWR is totally unreasonable of her. She needs to grow up

Sorry, TWR but like others have said I think I would take a step back from this.
At 23 she should be making her own decisions (and living with the consequences, good or bad). I would simply offer to accompany her in an advisory capacity only (help her with the technical stuff etc.) but make it absolutely clear that the decision to buy or otherwise is hers alone. We’d all like a car to “appear on our doorstep” but life ain’t that simple. When people mention the “snowflake generation” they are often howled down. This young lady seems to be the epitome of that phrase.

Thank you all for your valid replies, I have seen a suitable car that about 20 miles away, I ha now left the money issue in her hands,the car in full detail and on Gumtree for her to look and decide, regards I will be called on if something goes wrong with it, this is where the after purchase becomes her cost for my labour, again thank you all.
Just to conclude, the lass has just contacted me regards this car, she is concerned about the cars age 2001, with no service History record, the car was serviced in Feb & MOT at the same garage that has serviced and MOT'd since the seller has owned the Yaris, the ball is in her court now regards Looking for a car, no tears but the time I've spent looking for her amounts to a few long hours, this is, " END OF" for me.
