Default Recommended Head Units?

Hey i just sold my truck and i threw in the cd player just as an incentive to get rid of the truck so now i dont have a headunit for my car, it was a piece of crap anyway...
what would you guys recommend for a good HU? If possible i would like to buy it off ebay so i can get it cheaper. But i am thinking spending at most 200 maybe cheaper. What would you recommend? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for all the advice guys... about half an hour after i posted this thread i talked to one of my friends and he got a flip out dvd player for his blazer so he said he would sell me his old cd player -- its a Sony... $40. So i think i am going to go with that one... Thanks again.

Those are sweet -- but it says for 94 -99 so it wont work for a 92? Those are really cool...
thanks again.
