3 Cars That Are Each Under Usd 200 000

What is the best sports car under $200k?

There are many options of sports cars to choose from with that budget but they are pretty different and serve different uses.I’ll start it off with a small car that is extremely fun to throw into corners and is also a manual. That is the Porsche Cayman GT4, with a base price of $84,600 USD, it is a lot of car for the money, with a 3.8L Flat-6 making 385 hp. It is sure to scare someone on backroads.Secondly, you have the normal Porsche 911 models, with 200k as a budget you could go as high as one-of-the-range-topping Porsche 911 Turbo S which is an extremely fast car.Now, you are going into more expensive models, I have chosen the Mercedes-AMG GT/S, with a base price of the S version at around 150k, you get a 4.0L Biturbo V8 producing 510 hp to the rear wheels, it is a great car because you could cruise on the freeway as a GT car and seconds later switch a knob to RACE and it becomes a track monster and tire-shredder.Next, I’ll take you to the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, this car is super aggressive and has the exhaust note of a roaring lion. For about 150k, it contains a 4.7L Naturally Aspirated V8 that produces 454 HP, it is awesome to shred up backroads.On to my second to last one, I have the 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus, with a 5.2L Naturally Aspirated V10 straight from the Lamborghini Huracan, it is for sure a bang for the buck. Making 610 HP to all four wheels using Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, it is extremely fun to drive. This could be had for $190k USD.On my last one, I have chosen the McLaren 570S, this car is beautiful and the technology is mesmerizing, with a carbon fiber monocoque derived from the McLaren Super Series, it is like a big go-kart where when you throw it into a corner it feels like it’s anchored to the ground, it’s incredible. With options, it’ll cost a little over $200k but it is a bargain compared to other new McLaren models, ex. 650s, 675LT, etc. It’s also got the signature McLaren dihedral doors.Hope this helped!

What is the best car to buy for around $200K USD?

I, like Bruce A McIntyre, would begrudignly recommend a P85D. It's probably the best combination of safety, performance, and luxury for under $200k. I might also encourage you to visit the local Mercedes-Benz dealer, as I'm sure they have something dripping with luxury that will scratch your itch.However, before you go online and order yourself a Tesla or shuttle off in a new M-B, try something for me:1. Go test drive a Lexus, preferably one that's a year or two old. Should be less than $50k. Whatever you drive will not be the finest car in the world, but it will be quiet, comfortable, capable, very safe, and reliable.2. Then, before you drive off the lot, call your accountant and ask how much return $150k could earn each year. If you don't care about earning that money, proceed to step 3.3. Drive by the poorest neighborhood in your area and ask yourself what some or all of that $150k could do for the kids in that neighborhood. Now go to step 4.4. Then, drive by the local senior center and ask what some or all of your $150k could do for them. On to step 5.5. Finally, before you're all done with your test drive, adjust the rearview mirror so you can look yourself in the eyes. Ask yourself "Is the comfort I'll enjoy in a car that costs $150k more than this Lexus really worth it? Is that the best use I can find for my money?"If you can do all the above and still opt for the $200k car, good for you. But I hope you'll consider my "middle of the road option", which is to spend $50k or less on a late model Lexus and put the rest into your bank account, with a little bit to some local charities.A2A, btw.

Are the under $1,000-$2,000 used cars in the US reliable?

In my personal case, I bought a 1988 acura integra for 1400 out the door from a dealer. Keep in mind, Washington state had just passed the law that you had to buy new plates with every car purchase so it included that plus dealer fees etc. Single owner up to the 174,xxx mile mark which is when I purchased it.I drive the piss out of it. Hard acceleration on a regular basis, redline everyday, high rpm city driving, frequent stop and go driving, down shift from 5th to 3rd to pass, and all the usual errand running that involves turning her off and turning her on in short time frames.Shes a little harder to start first thing in the morning, but starts every time. (so far) Newer “econoboxes” struggle to keep up (sans the sport trims), gets the same gas mileage than it is rated for from the factory and sometimes better if I stay off the throttle, but smiles per gallon is great.Downsides? Well, the demand for this car is nil. There is a small subset of people who are really into it but I’m sure its less than 100 people worldwide. “But aren’t acura/hondas popular?” you say. Ha, well you would be thinking of the early 90s and up hondas and acuras. Pre 1990? Not so much with their torsion bar suspension and solid rear axle suspension set ups.Also, as with most used cars, you will encounter problems. Some were caused by me (valve stem seals, alignment) and others are wear and tear (axle, muffler). Thing is that with most cars that are pre-2000 models, fixing them is cake. Basic hand tool set and an afternoon will do most jobs. Not to mention there is way less under the hood to fiddle around with.So are they reliable? Yes, but only if you maintain them and actually fix problems as they arise. Imo, cars become unreliable when owners just let the problems pile up and before they know it they have 2k in repairs to do on a car thats worth 1500, and so you end up finding cars that need “tlc” on craigslist for 500–1000.So my answer is yes, they are reliable assuming the previous owner maintained them and you also continue maintaining it when you own it.

What is a good car, with decent power (200hp+) that is under £20,000 and will not break my wallet at 21?

A used car! At three years old, when new car contract plans run out and fleets replace cars, a car is typically half its new price. Some, less, especially if they guzzle gas and are expensive to insure. So you can own something that was 40 grand new. No shortage of possible choices.Do your research before you buy it. At your age, insurance is going to be a huge part of the running costs, and the more powerful and “sporty” a car, the more an insurer will charge. Especially if the driver is young, with limited experience. Get quotes on every car you consider. Ask yourself if you really want to be spending that much on insurance.Also research the maintenance costs, especially if your first thought is BMW.This last advice is almost certain to fall on deaf ears, but get a few years’ more experience in a “sensible” car first, and save the money you are not spending on insuring and maintaining a road-rocket. Of course you will think “its all the other idiots not me”, but the statistics show that youth and inexperience and high powered cars are an unsafe mix. You are definitely inexperienced even if you have been driving for four years now. You will still be learning ten years from now, if you want to be a good driver.

How many people earn $200,000+ per year in the USA?

The census noted below might be right, but seems sort of low. I would agree that there are not many folks that earn 200+ and really not even a whole lot above 100K. I’d just suspect that doctors, lawyers, architects, IT folks, execs and such would make up more than 1.5% of the workforce.I’d be willing to bet there may also be flaws in how the census attributes earnings. It might simply be straight W-2 earnings, failing to account for many additional income items such as benefits, K-1 earnings, bonuses, passive income and investment income, second jobs, etc.Many people don’t make anywhere near 200K in their main job, but could easily exceed it when you add in alternative sources of income (and just the legal ones…not going to make assumptions on those who don’t report their earnings or get them by illegal means - which obviously would not be part of the census report).I for example, make less than $100K in my main job, but make closer to $300K/yr when you add investments and passive income. I would venture that there are many others that similarly may earn a primary income below the 200K but who have amassed alternative strategies and grown them over years to where they now have many income streams that combined would exceed the census numbers.Another factor to assess is that inflation raises salaries and thus many folks just below 200K in 2014 are now over that figure due to raises and promotions.I would figure a more realistic figure of folks making over 200K to be in the 5%-7% range based on items addressed above.

My net worth is more than 200,000 USD. Am I richer than the Unites States government?

The U.S. government created the USD in your net worth, and everyone else’s net worth.The U.S. government, along with state and municipal governments, maintains the framework of laws, institutions, regulations, and the justice system necessary for the modern economy to function.If you’re a U.S. citizen, consider yourself as a “shareholder” of the government. Government debts are your debts — and possibly also your assets, if you hold bonds. Instead of comparing your personal assets against the government’s, consider your share of the government’s balance sheet as a component of your assets.Under that interpretation, each citizen:owes bondholders about $60K at favorable interest ratesenjoys access to national security, transportation networks, safety-net programs (eg. unemployment insurance)enjoys access to the U.S. economy — education systems, labor markets, financial markets, and public institutions that glue it all together.If you didn’t have any of that stuff, and you could buy it for $60K at rock-bottom financing, wouldn’t you? Of course you would! It’s a steal. You already did, that’s why you’re rich.Richer than Uncle Sam himself.
