It's pretty easy to just go on and on about cars all day long, no matter what the cost is. It's fun to fantasize about cars we all wish we could have. Those are probably the cars we talk about the most. Even if they only cost $50,000 (which is nothing compared to the price of a Lykan Hypersport). But sometimes, it's a nice break to sit back and look at some of the cars that might actually sit within our price range. You know, the cars for peasants like most of us.

Now, don't think that means that we won't look at at least a few insanely priced cars (all of which cost over $1 million), but we're going to focus here on the cars on the market that anyone here could purchase for about $20,000 or under. Of course, that doesn't mean that we could all afford that. I couldn't afford a car at all (other than from Kijiji where I bought my first truck...for $1,000).

And don't be fooled here. Just because most of these cars will go for under $20k does not mean that it isn't ridiculously easy to rack up a bill well over that amount once this feature and that feature are added. And don't get the idea that all of these cars are worth buying just because they are affordable. But either way, here are 11 cars under $20k, and 8 over $1 million!

19 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro ($4 million)

CARMagazine.com

Anyone who might think that spending $3.2 million on an Aston Martin Valkyrie is bad might want to hold on to their seats just about now. And don't hold on to the one in this car because it is far too expensive, for sure! There were only 25 of these special little guys ever made and while they have not yet been shipped to their prospective owners (since they're not scheduled to be ready until 2019), we the public still don't know how much anyone has paid for one of these. Considering the $3.2 million base for the regular Valkyrie, which was itself a limited edition car, we can assume a price closer to $4 million for this guy.

18 Aston Martin Valkyrie ($3.2 million)

HDCarWallpapers.com

Believe it or not, the Aston Martin Valkyrie is actually a road-legal car. I'm sure it's much like the Vulcan in that it's virtually impossible for someone the size of, say, Jeremy Clarkson to get in and drive, but those tiny enough and with the $3.2 million saved up to buy, can take this thing through downtown, paranoid that someone might scratch it. There are only going to be 99-150 Valkyries overall and while it does come with a single wiper for the windshield...I have to say that the sparsity of this car is probably not worth the money. But it did drop just this year so...

17 Mercedes AMG Project One ($2.72 million)

CarAndDriver.com

Here is the new baby of the Mercedes-Benz company in production with their AMG line. And thanks to Lewis Hamilton, this car looks...at least very interesting.

And even with that strange spine along the back end of the car, with only 275 of these being made, I'm going to guess that they will sell out, even with a price tag of $2.72 million! That is not a cheap car.

I think it's largely because of Hamilton's name being attached to it, but also Mercedes is never really a cheap company to buy from. If only the SLS AMG Black were just a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars cheapper...anyway, the AMG Project One is slated to be rolling out in 2019.

16 AeroMobil Flying Car ($1.61 million)

Wallpapers.com

That's right, there is a flying car in our not-so-distant future. And that is kind of exciting. I think it is probably more scary than exciting if I'm being totally honest with myself but I guess we have to start somewhere, even if that somewhere ends up with a winged car crash landing onto a freeway, on the way to work in the morning. Anyway, this little accident-waiting-to-happen is priced at about $1.61 million for those who wish to have the option to take to the skies when going from point A to B. It'll be interesting to see how air traffic is handled in the next decade...

15 Pininfarina PFO ($2 million)

TopSpeed.com

This electric hypercar might just be a tad unrealistic. I realize that battery tech has come a long way and is still getting better and better but the creators of this car have suggested that they expect the PFO to be able to charge up to 80% in only 10-15 minutes. That seems like complete bull.

Especially when considering the fact that this car will be apparently able to go from 0-60 in only two seconds.

In addition to that, they're looking at putting this car out with a top speed of about 250mph (which will likely drain the battery in less than 10-15 minutes). Either way, it's a cool-looking car that might not be a realistic purchase at $2 million.

14 Zenvo Automotive TSR-S ($2 million)

InsideCarToday.com

Ok, before I even saying anything else, it has to be known that the Zenvo TSR-S can gallop with the power of almost 1200 horses. I don't know if ever anyone here has heard what that power sounds like in real life but...imagine it's very intense.

At any rate, the Zenvo TS1 GT pulled over $1 million per car when it came out and this TSR-S is superior in a number of ways.

While the price has not yet been set officially, I think it is more than safe to assume that prospective owners will be looking at losing about $2 million out of their bank accounts before even adding a single upgrade.

13 MAT Stratos ($1 million)

AutoEvolution.com

For those who don't recognize this car, it is a redesign of a classic 1970s car made by Lancia. Well, MAT (Manifattura Automobili Torino) has plans to build 25 of these cars based on the classic with a couple of significant issues. First of all, the cost of this car, outright, isn't over $1 million. It's actually about $625,000. But this car requires something special to actually build the thing. It requires a donor Ferrari F430 Scuderia. So, before even putting a single add-on to the car, this will run about $1 million at the bare minimum...and you have to waste a Ferrari in the process...

12 McLaren BP23 Hypercar (Speedtail) ($2 million)

CNET.com

This car, while it is a bit difficult to actually see the lines on this test version, has already completely sold out. It's not set to roll out onto the street until 2019 but each and every one of the 106 BP23s to be built have been sold with a price tag of over $2 million. Now, it could very well be worth it to some people to pay $2 million for a car that can run with the power of over 800 horses, but I think this might be a bit overpriced. I mean, the Ferrari 812 Superfast can gallop at that pace and it isn't even half a million bucks. It's cute that McLaren wants to keep playing with the big boys, but maybe they should be more realistic?

11 Suzuki Jimny ($13,000)

via autocar

Suzuki apparently wants to take on Jeep for whatever reason. That or Land Rover. Either way, this piece of machinery very much like the classic model of the Jimny that has been around for just about 21 years now. But there are some significant differences to this new design. Sure, it probably won't floor anyone and will remain pretty simple and cheap, but it certainly will have updated and onboard computers with a touchscreen display which has been historically unheard of in one of these things. Depending on where in the world one of these cars is purchased, it can run as little as $13,000.

10 SsangYong e-SIV ($18,000)

via auto express

Now, here is a car that people will not likely have heard of and will likely not hear much about ever again after this article. This is due to a couple of reasons.

First of all, who here has actually heard of SsangYong? If anyone here has, then congrats, you truly are petrol heads.

Either way though, whether anyone here has heard of this company or not, there is a pretty clear issue surrounding this only $18,000 car. It seems to be that this car may not ever hit production...or at least not in its current condition. Not that there is anything wrong with it. It just seems as though this was more of a show-off piece in Geneva.

9 Skoda Vision X ($20,000)

via autoportal

Little is really known about this up and comer but for the fact that it is a crossover vehicle (which should be obvious to any onlooker). There are some tech details when it comes to the powertrain on the car. When the concept was unveiled in Geneva this year, the Skoda Vision X looked to have some hints of hybrid in it, including an electric motor that could make the car AWD, pushing out a pitiful 27 BHP. That being said though, the Vision X could also be made to drive on electric power alone for a short distance if say someone didn't stop at that last gas station to fill like they should have. But, you'll only pay just at about the $20,000 cap for this one.

8 Honda Urban EV ($20,000)

CNet.com

I think people will be able to easily admit that this is one strange-looking car, to say the least. There is something old-school Nintendo about it...but also something futuristic. I'm guessing that was intentional, but I can't figure out just why it was.

Either way, this car sits right at the $20,000 mark, but again, is not likely to be a car that will show up in the Americas anytime soon.

They don't even know if it will show up period, but sales are said to start in 2019, with delivery sometime after that...but no one knows how long after that. It's been suggested that there will be at least a 200 mile range to this car, and given the time it will have to finally hit the roads, it should do better than that, to be fair.

7 BMW 1 Series ($20,000)

CarWow.com

First of all, I should say that no one should get too excited here. The BMW 1 Series starts off right at about the $20,000 mark. But that is across the pond so anyone looking to snag one of these in the Americas for that price is either buying a stolen car or is at best buying it used. Sorry to say. But that's sort of ok because BMW has changed up the platform of this car to front-wheel-drive which sort of makes this car a bit more of a pain to really play with. They did so to make more room for passengers and storage but I think that might have been a mistake, even if it makes the car more affordable.

6 Honda Insight ($20,000)

via autotrader

Alright, here's the scoop on the 2019 Honda Insight. Depending on where someone is looking to buy one of these things, you might get a notification that states "going for under (insert number here)." Now, that price that the Insight is going under for has been placed at anywhere from $20,000-$28,000.

I'd suggest shopping around if anyone here is planning on buying one of these guys.

But I would also suggest that any car that has that wide a range with the starting price just is not worth the hassle. Also, it kind of helps that the Insight isn't exactly the best Honda on the market anyway, so we all know that people are going to fork out the money for the Civic...in some instances here, it's even cheaper!

5 Mazda 3 ($18,095)

via speedz & auto

I'm not sure if it's just Mazda's ability to capture the right mood lighting to promote their cars, or what, but the redesigned Mazda 3 is certainly one of the best-looking of all the under $20k cars on this list. At $18,095, this wonderfully redesigned car is pretty much a steal if the owner is looking to have a decent-looking and simultaneously interesting-looking car out on the road for next to nothing. And, considering that it does 35 mpg out on the highway, this is a pretty decent car to have out on the road without guzzling too much petrol in one go.

4 Hyundai Veloster ($18,500)

HDCarsWallpapers.com

This is pretty well the only car that anyone has a right to consider even slightly sporty on this list for under $20k. That being said...it's hardly a sports car in reality anyway. But, if someone wants to give the illusion of having a sporty car with a decent look (Now that it has a whole new look), the $18,500 price tag on the Veloster is a pretty decent way there. And, at 33mpg on the highway, the Veloster has basically got the same mpg rating as most other cars in the price range...it's just that this one looks a bit more interesting.

3 Redspace REDS ($20,000)

MotorTrendCanada.com

This up and coming car out of China is certainly something else. Essentially it is a workspace that goes on the road. It is meant to be fully electric, it has seats the can swivel, it is said to have onboard WiFi as the standard...all in all, it shouldn't be all that bad a car and will likely go for more than $20,000.

However, given that they have yet to call a price out on this guy yet, I would suggest that slapping a $20,000 tag on it is just the right thing to do.

I mean...look at it. They'll sell far more if they drop that tag low because no one really wants to be seen in a car that looks like this. So they better make it worth the while of the drivers. We might see one on the road in 2020.

2 Ford Focus ($17,950)

TopSpeed.com

Ok, true. This car has been around, but in all fairness, this is a whole new redesign. For $17,950 a driver can roll away with the Ford Focus (at least for the next couple of years until Ford shuts down the manufacturing of all their cars aside from the Mustang). The Focus has poorer mileage than that of the Honda Civic by a few miles here and there depending on whether in the city or out on the highway. But, of course, the Ford Focus is one of those cars that gets labeled as a "hot hatch" even though it should just remain being called a compact. Anyway, it's cheaper than a Civic by about a grand. Just a matter of preference at that point.

1 Chrysler Portal ($20,000)

CarPixel.com

Depending on the sources and where one plans on picking one of these up and depending on when one assumes this car will actually be rolled out onto the market floor, it seems that the Chrysler Portal could range anywhere from $20-30k.

Now, that might seem like a fairly sizeable range but the truth is that no one really knows what this car is going to sell for yet.

And I have to be honest that, judging by the look, it shouldn't fetch more any more than $20,000. And I say that even though it brags a 250 mile drive range between charges. Oh, yeah, if no one could tell, this is an electric car. No idea how long the charge will take though...
