Well, I only have about $650 to spend and I want to get at least 1 good lenses so I'm looking at buying a used A200k in a little bit and probably a 200mm zoom lens. The camera is going to cost something like $300-$350 and will come with a 55mm lens but should there be anything I should know about the camera before I purchase it or any lenses I should definitely get?

Suggestions on where to get lenses from would be great too, like websites or anything.

This will be my first DSLR so anything really would help.

I currently have the a-200k kit, and lenses are really based on shooting style and preference.

The lense it comes with is a Macro lense, and what i currently need/want is a zoom lense, so yes, i would stay with the 200mm zoom.

Where do you live? i would try to find a local camera shop or within a 30 minute drive.

other then that, try ritzcamera.com (i think that's the site, just google ritz camera if it isn't)

I'm currently using a Sony Alpha 200, and for my use, it's great!
I've heard it's one of the best cameras for it's price.
