Its very difficult, as i'd rather see her in something around $2-3k that is bound to get damaged, scratched and mechanically abused etc... as she learns and has more respect for cars, but for that money it would have questionable reliability, and maybe cost her more money in the long run?
Any thoughts would be appreciated?

Have you asked what your niece needs / prefers??
Small / medium / large?
Auto / manual?
Sedan / hatch / ute / wagon?
How many doors??
Any towing / carrying multiple people a lot of the time?
Ground clearance issues / dirt roads / 4x4 / AWD (referring to isolated area)
Petrol / Diesel / LPG?
If I knew a person was buying a car for me they would have all the answers to the above first.
