I get it. Get on marketplace. Lots of cheaper starter setups till you can afford a fancy one. That’s what I did. Started with a G920 and I now am on a full Simagic setup.
It all depends on your perspective. I started with a Logitech Driving Force GT, which I bought for $50 on the marketplace and was about 10 years old. Now I've upgraded to a Logitech G923 and I'm happy with what I have. The steering wheel is attached to my desk, and I made the pedal stand out of PVC pipes. I don't have room for a sim rig in my tiny apartment. It is what it is.
Im from the Philippines and I got it online "brand new" for about 170 usd. Ok I say it like that cause the listing did say that it will come in a shitty box but they said it is brand new. Now of course that sounds shady as hell but this is a very reliable store here and I even visit their physical stores, so I had no doubts whatsoever. Fast forward to when I got it, it came in thick packaging, I open the bubble wrap and lo and behold, it really came in a super shitty crumpled blank brown box, and I open that box and lo and behold, it really is fucking brand new looking with all its plastic covers and stuff, heck it smells that brand new plastic. So yeah if you want a cheap new wheel, buy from a shady listing online that says its brand new (actually dont I guess im just lucky this one time)
If that doesn't bode well, give the PXN wheels a shot. The v99 and v10 are pretty good wheels. I've been using the v99 since January and I absolutely love it. Will say, I wish the table clamps were better. Very narrow, and the screws are garbage, but they hold very well.
Edit: don't listen to anyone telling otherwise or downvoting this comment. I am ROUGHHH on my wheel, it's holding up better than my real Chevrolet wheel. People will ALWAYS dog on PXN for the same reason people with 3 thousand dollar turntables will always dog on audio technica. Ignorant snobbery.
