Are cheap car payments possible?

I was talking to my coworker and mentioned that I might have to get a used car because I didn't want a high payment. He said that his car is 4 years old and his car payment is less than $200. When he told me that, my jaw dropped. I seriously didn't think it was possible to get a car for less than $250 per month. At least not a new car.

But he bought his car brand new, and it's a automatic. I hope I can find something that affordable.
