Way too much mind reading there my friend. And I know you know that.
Its not a positive or negative towards you, its just that she wants a more economical car. You know what worked before, you wanted to give it all another try (texting thing), don't overdo it. Start slow, very slow, have some patience. You'll get your answers soon enough, but not on your time line. Maybe once every other week for now, as you need to slowly build up some communications first. Don't jump in with both feet. It would be too much too fast.
I know its all frustrating, but you can do this. If you think she's struggling financially and sick, buy some meds, and drop them off in her mail box. Have no expectations doing this. No get well soon cards either. SLOW
