I don't know of any used ones for sale, but the cheapest new price I found is bmaautoparts.com (excellent customer service) for 151 + 6 for gasket.

just go to a junkyard and pick one off of your same car make sure that the oil is drained so u dont get it all over you and its pretty simple if you have changed your oil before you know what the oil pan is and you look up and you will see a bunch of bolts going around it to hold it on unscrew those and you will have yourself a used oil pan then just follow the steps backwards and you will get it on your car.

its a big PITA. you have to drop the subframe to get it off though. i cracked mine and it was easier to weld the damn thing then to take off all 27 bolts and drop the subframe/rack.

Well, I'll be doing it in a couple weeks, so I'll let you guys know, and do a DIY, ok?
