Unless they can magically come up with a few extra thousand dollars, I can't really think of something more reliable than a mid 90's Jimmy. I have one friend with a similar Jimmy and another with a blazer both with 200k+ rough miles on them.
I mean, I'd never buy a used car older than 10 years without a full shop but I'm in a much better financial position than OP. A used gmc SUV has parts readily available and last forever. There's a reason you see so many of them when you're driving around in the middle of nowhere.
