I need a new guitar. my budget is about $200-250. I am an intermediate player and my guitar right now is a peice of crap. Any type of guitar is fine, just as long as its in budget.

Hmmmm...200 to 250 range. There is the Squire Standard. You may want to check out some pawn shops. Unfortunately there aren't that many "good" guitars in that price range. If you have that much already, see if you can use it as a down payment and makenmonthly payments until it's paid off?

I've seen used Squier CV Strats going for close to your budget on Ebay. They're actually pretty nice instruments for the money.

Used MIM strats are good. I picked up this one recently for $275 with a little Marshall MG15DFX

Got a black '01 with a hard case for $225.

I think those are good guitars for that money.

In my neck of the woods there have been lots of used MIM Strats and Epi Les Pauls in the $250 to $300 price range on Craigslist.

The used MIM strats @ $2-300 sounds like a pretty good deal for this price range.

Time to hit the pawn shops... If you keep your eyes open, you should be able to find a pretty good axe for your money, just don't be in a hurry...
My 2cents...
