-200 dollars worth of Shark Cards doesn't even get you 3 vehicles now.
For real? Or do you just mean good vehicles?
It's not entirely true.
The new vehicles all range around the 2,000,000 dollar range. If you complete certain missions you can lower the price around 500k.
But in order to do those missions, you need a Mobile Command Center, which costs around 1,225,000
In order to buy a Mobile Command Center, you need to own a bunker first to store it in, which costs around 1,150,000
Now in order to modify the new vehicles, you need a vehicle modification bay in your mobile command center which costs like 955,000
And in order to unlock modifications to use on the new vehicles, you need to unlock them through "research" which either requires you to wait 3 real time hours in free mode OR pay 225,000 to "fast track" it and unlock it immediately.
Oh, and you can't choose which modifications you want to research. The game chooses which ones are researched randomly. There are 48 in all.
And you have to pay to actually modify the vehicle as well. So say you research twin miniguns and fast track it for 225,000. You then have to pay the price of the modification on top of that.
So 100 dollars in shark cards (I'm assuming 200 is a typo, since the highest they sell for a single card is 100) would get you maybe 4 or 5 of the new vehicles if you did the missions to unlock the reduced price. But then you'd need to pay upwards of of 3.5 million in order to actually modify the vehicles to make them worth a damn.
Then you would either have to wait 144 hours in free mode to unlock the modifications for use (although, not all of those unlocks are vehicle related. many are weapon related as well) and/or pay around 11 million to unlock them.
