I got a Motorola T605. It cost less than $200 and my friend installed it for free. My phone has A2DP so I can play music or listen to audio books over my car stereo from my phone as well as take/receive calls. It works very well.

One of my requirements was bluetooth built-in. For that package, I also got voice command, 6" touchscreen radio, and a 20gig hard drive built in. It rocks! Voice command works perfect even with people with funny names. The radio can pair up to 10 phones with each phone having it's own priority (so if you have two paired phones it your car, it will use the phone with the higher priority to make calls and you can receive calls on either over the system). The radio reads the phone's address book so all you have to do is say "Call " and it will phone the person if they exist in your address book. If there are multiple numbers listed (ie. mobile, home, work), it will ask you "Would you like to call at mobile, home, or work?" Then you say Work, and voila! You could also say "Call " it will just dial it. The great thing is that if you are listening to the radio, it will mute it and bring the call in. When the call is done, it will unmute the radio automatically. Excellent integration. If you are looking to purchase a car, get one with bluetooth and voice command built-in. It's definitely worth it. I bought a new car last winter. One of my requirements was bluetooth built-in.
