There are a couple of great Kenmores out there for under $200. My friend bought one this year and she is very happy with it.
This is the one she owns and it is on sale even!
They are made by the same company as Janome. I have a Kenmore and a Janome and am happy with both. The Kenmore is older and I have never had any repairs needed for it.
