To answer your question directly, I'd look for a west coast Subaru, in 4 wheel drive. I don't know how much rust you get, or the values of cars where you are located. If your main concern is safety, get another SAAB. That being said, the newer cars with side curtain airbags and ABS are probably just as safe as an older 9000. My daughters both have Toyotas, and car payments. I offered my 900s to my oldest daughter for free, the only rule being she couldn't sell it. She gave it back to me a month later. I also agree with JMJ about life lessons and money management.
A $3500 car with an occasional repair beats a $337 car payment every month, for 7 years, (plus $137 car insurance) Good luck in your search...
