A Car that will pass inspection in Ma.

Hi guys and gals, I am looking for a car that runs and will pass inspection in Ma. and is safe to drive. My sister is not real healthy, not working anymore because of her health, and kind of on the low income scale. I love my sister and I am trying to help her out. I will buy her a car, but I am trying to get ready for retirement at this stage, and I don't have a ton of money to get her anything nice to drive. This car is for transportation only, and I don't care about looks, or even if it is a Chevy, Ford, or God forgive me, a foreign car. I am in southeastern Ma. and will travel a little if the car and price is right. Please help me help her. Thanks to all my Mopar brothers and sisters on FABO for looking.
