Default One car, only car, up to $200k

Okay, thought this would be kind of fun. You are offered a vehicle up to $200k that your rich uncle will buy with these conditions:

1. Your ONLY car (i.e. MODE OF TRANSPORTATION) you are allowed to have
2. You have to drive it for 5 years, no exceptions (warrany only good up to 4 years!)
3. You HAVE to perform all regular maintenance and upkeep WITH YOUR OWN MONEY
4. $200,000 or under.



So, what do you buy? I actually have to think about this for a little bit before deciding...

I modified a bit to say that the warranty is only good up to 4 years to make it a bit more interesting.

I don't think you're allowed to keep the change.

If I could get an F430 for $200K, then that will be it. It's worth the maintenance costs.
