Default Getting started in kayaking?

Hi,
I've been wanting to get into kayaking lately. All I really want to
do is go around on lakes and some local slow moving rivers. Now that
I have a vehicle and roof racks to haul stuff around (an '82 vw
rabbit), I'd like to buy a kayak in the not too distant future. I've
never been in a kayak before, but may be going on a little kayak trip
thing (we'd rent) with some friends. I'd probably buy a kayak next
year, but am would like to get started researching. I'd like a kayak
that would be good for a beginner, but, that I wouldn't "outgrow" in
ability really soon. I'd buy something used. Anyone have some
suggestions of any models or categories of kayaks to look at? And,
how much would a good used beginner (sorry, I don't know the correct
term) kayak cost?

Thanks.
