Default What's the best bang for your buck Touch Screen head unit?

Im looking to get rid of the boss system because all the cd's skip so I am looking to get a touch screen head unit that either flips up or just normal screen. I talked to a local audio place and they said the best one (I forget the name) would be for $550

Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood are all good and have well-priced lower models.

I took a look on the pioneer website for the F700bt and it said $850.00 which is to much for my budget but i seen some on ebay used for around 380.00 would you do a used one or is that to risky?

that unit brand new from ebay I found for $399 shipped. I bought one for a friend last week. You have to buy a separate Ipod adapter cable tho.
