The basic ones like the one I got this time around can be had for just under £100, the most expensive one I ever bought was about £250 lol but I thought to myself I'm not spending that much this time around!
It's quite good, came with the iPod/iPhone cable free as well (reason I bought that particular one is so I can listen to some albums on my iPhone and charge it at the same time, freeing up my fag lighter socket for sat nav power).

Goodmans 
neither Sony, i had Sony and thought it was good until i had alpine
the people that are saying Sony and stuff haven't had alpine, yeah its a few more quid but deffo worth it, it will last 10x longer and you wont want/need another one until you fancy a change.
once you got one you will know what i mean

A "decent" stereo should be priced between £250-400 so yeah i would say under £130 for something that does iPod/CD/MP3/Aux/Bluetooth ready/decent power and great sound quality is a bargain tbf.
