$650 is a bit steep for Posted by: adbass on Sep-25-12 8:51 AM (EST)
just a kayak carrier. Do you not already have roof bars? If not, then in addition to Thule and Yakima (the market leaders), there are companies such as Inno and Sportrack that sell considerably cheaper (but still good quality) product: http://www.innoracks.com/product/base/ http://www.sportrack.com/a21001s/ I have recently bought a Sportrack Frontier rack for our Corolla. It cost $160 Canadian (on special, list was $220). I've seen the same racks listed on Amazon.com for less than $200 US. I don't know anything about Inno other than the positive comments made here by others. You can also check local classified ads for used racks.
