There are plenty of new cars for less than that.

Honda & Toyota both have cars for less.
A civic is a great buy.
The new corrola SUV style is great for riding intown. Easy to park.

Honda HRV is super cute redisign.

I don't imagine there's much of a delta in this case. The quantity of $200k+ cars on the road is so small that I don't think it moves the needle much.

Lots of new cars in 20-something range: Nissans, Fords, Subarus etc.

A new car is still cheaper than used, in many cases. Of course you have zero sympathy...
