Default Looking for an Ohm Meter - need suggestions

I'm gotten pretty good at replacing parts on cars, but I still have a long way to go at diagnostics. I figured since I already have an OBD2 scanner, I should invest in an Ohm meter for testing sensors and all types of electrical issues. Plus I have the service manual to help me along.

I know nothing about Ohm meters. Is there a certain brand that is better than the rest? What features should I look for? What's an average price for a good unit?

Well, depends on how good you want it to be. If you are willing to get the best, look for a Fluke 87 or a Fluke 88 but be prepared to pay around $300-$400

Are there any good ones for around $100? Or is that way too low for an Ohm meter?

You can get a Fluke 15B or a Fluke 17 for around $100, not as versatile as an 88 but still better than most.
