Is this system a good buy?

I know nothing about car audio but I do want to have a lil thump in my ride. Nothing extravagant, just simple and cheap. First, I just bought a 1990 Sable GS will any cd player fit? What should I look for when purchasing one? Second, I found a complete system on ebay. I know it's not going to turn heads, I'm not looking for that, I would like to know if it's worth the money.

and just the subs and amp kits

What's best?

No more than a couple hundred and thats including the head unit. For the money the system above isnt a good deal? Could I get something else at those prices?

Ok guys thanks for the help I really appreciated. Now how am I going to install all of this? Is it relatively simple? I really want to do it myself mainly because I am frugal so any how to's will be appreciated.
