That's a big part of the reason I said her explanation made absolutely no sense.
If her god had no role in the decline of the elderly person's various faculties (the OP was a bit vague on all this), then her prayer had zero impact on the availability of the vehicle at a discounted price.
In which case, it completely invalidates her original point that this is "evidence" for the existence of god... not that it was valid in the first place.
She lamented that us mean atheists would just dismiss her evidence as coincidence, but then offers a story that can only be interpreted as a coincidence.
Well, unless she was suggesting that her god caused the family car to irreparably break down in advance of any prayers for a new vehicle. If that's the case, then her god is clearly a major asshole: "I'm going to cause your car to break down (which will cost you a few grand, at the least) just so you can pray to me for something to happen that was going to happen regardless of whether or not your car broke down or you prayed"
