Your daughter might be making a mistake by not buying your car from you. She might. BUT – it is her mistake to make and she is old enough to make her own choices. It’s difficult as a parent to sit back and watch our kids make a mistake that you can easily help them avoid but it’s also our job to let them fail (assuming not catastrophic consequences). If it ends up being a mistake, she will have to figure out how to fix it and will learn from it. That’s part of being an independent adult. Best thing about that situation would be getting to tell her “told ya so” (I’m kidding). You made very nice offers to her and she is forging her own path where many would just sit back and be lazy and take handouts – good for her! She sounds smart and independent.
