Ah, I was all ready to volunteer!
But to help... maybe one of these:
Volvo 244 - reliable, safe, cheap. Typically good for well over 200k miles, so don't worry about buying a high mileage one, just make sure the owner did the proper routine maintenance. I know a guy around Westchester, PA, who deals on used cars, a good guy, I went through him for a transaction... he does Volvos a lot too.

Trouble with Hondas is you can't find a good one cheap.
Have you thought of putting her in something used GM? You'd be surprised what you can find in a Buick Regal or Century, like a 2000 Regal GS Supercharged for 10K. As quick in the quarter as an (unmolested) L98. It might bore her to tears but less so than a Volvo.
