Best of luck to her finding a decent C-Max diesel or similar for €3k that doesn't require more money spent on it. She might get a high miler Citroen Picasso or Ford Fusion.

As for trying to tell some people they don't need a diesel, I just don't bother anymore, let them off as your wasting your time. They usually have tunnel vision and will only figure it out the hard/expensive way that the maths don't add up in the long run.
