I'm getting a sedan w/ a bare roof - nothing on it

looking to buy locally
so my question is, how much did you pay for your rack system?

i'm looking to buy these two things (not necessarily yakima & thule, although probably)

$25 at a garage sale yo!

Roof racks are reall expensive, if you aren't willing to drop that much money rent one. Maybe you have a rack ultra near by (www.rackultra.com) if not hold em down with bungee cords like guys at my hill. not a real big help, sorry

Attaching it is simple, I did mine myself in like 30 minutes and I had a completely bare roof too.

$150 online but that was only because I couldn't find one on craigslist, my buddy got his for $60 on there.
