First you need a trailer hitch. I just got a trailer hitch installed for $150 (Uhaul will do it - although I used a local private shop), with a 1 1/4" receiver. You can always use a flimsy trunk mounted unit, but they rest on trunk and bumper and are not lockable.
I just purchased a Hollywood Road Runner 3 bike carrier last week over the internet from RR Bicycle in Pennsylvania. They had the lowest price I could find - $189 I beleive. Hollywood seems to offer the best value out of the few racks that are out there. Thule makes a great high end rack, but that will run you $279 for a 2 bike unit. Their lower end unit doesn't give you a lower stabilizing bar or offer a 3 bike capacity. The carrier in saabcatalog.com is a 3 bike unit, but once again doesn't offer the stabilizing arm. The Hollywood also folds up when not in use - no other unit does.
I actually have not used the carrier yet. I will be using it for the first time this weekend - in a snowboard carrying capacity however. I'll update with a review after the weekend
