How do I find the cheapest possible cd player for my 1997 Subaru Impreza?

Question

I am for all intents and purposes too poor to be spending money on a CD player, but pretty much anything would be better than the discman I have hooked up via my tape deck which stops and makes robot noises in the heat! I figure a factory CD player would be cheap, particularly from these EBay motor parts stores, but I have no frame of reference to know if factory players tend to fit from one car to another, or what installation equipment I will need (I'm hoping to install it myself with on-line information). Even if I do find a really cheap aftermarket player, I still don't know what the critical dimensions and parts are to know if it will work. Can anybody give me an idea of how to orient myself to this process? Thanks!!

They have some of the best prices around on car stereo systems of all kinds.  You can also input the year, make and model of your car and they'll tell you which models will fit in your car and which ones will require modification in order to fit in your car.
