What Logical Fallacy Is This?

Non-sequitor for sure. However, there are subsets of that fallacy and I can't think of the one this falls into. Hasty generalization comes to mind.
 
No fallacy. But a premise that is damn hard to establish.

I think the argument is along the lines of:
1. The cheapest car is 10.000$.
2. I have only 5.000$ dollars.
Therefore I can't afford any car.

Or:
1. The fastest car goes 500mph topspeed.
Therefore there is no car that makes 600mph.

All fine. But hard to establish. Even more so in the case of phychics, where there is no objective way to measure who's top, or some such.

I think it would be more like:

1. This car costs $100.00
2. Therefore if I have $100.00 I can by any car.

It doesn't compute.
