I recommend the $99 Ender 3 that Microcenter (and other retailers) have frequently.
Like just the base Ender 3? Not the V2 or the Neo? Looking at prices the Neo seems to be about $30 more but the improvements in the gear are well worth it. Plastic -> metal extruder, BL Touch (Which is like $40 by itself), and a much nicer build plate.
I haven't looked at prices in a while, but when Microcenter offers the Ender 3 Pro for $99, the V2 and Neo are more than double the price.
Microcentre have done the walk-in-with-coupon $99 V2 in the last several months, a couple of times. And also the base 3 for $79.
I love my 3V2, but it is a jalopy. A jalopy I've turned into a hot rod, but it started a jalopy. A model A, as compared to the original 3's model T, perhaps. xD
