Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
you can tell her that she won't have to drive you around anymore, if you have siblings you can say that you can help her pick them up so she can have more time to herself. and you can help her run errands if she's busy.

To persuade her mom, she should personalize her method. Some parents give in after you bother them for a long time, and some parents like to see you make a plan and give a good argument. For me, I can usually cry or act upset to my dad and he'll give me just about anything (I don't abuse it haha)
Tell your friend to do her research. Find a model of car both her and her mom can agree on (a realistic car) and find approximate costs for gas, insurance, the price of the car, etc. Use a method she thinks will work to give her mom the information and prove that she has put thought into it. Make sure she explains the benefits (running errands for her mom, taking herself to places, etc.) And a way to greatly improve her chances is by coming up with some of the money herself and getting a job if she doesn't already have one.
Good luck to both of you,

Well.
There are many reasons to get a car. For one, you save your parents a lot of time that they would spend driving you around. With your own car, you no longer need to rely on your parents for rides. Also, it's good to get driving experience and an old car is a great way to start. As long as your friend has taken a license test then this should be a good idea. And also, she should tell her mom that her friends can help pay for gas if she has to go pick them up or something.
Good luck to your friend. <3
