So I've decided to buy one used since I'm a beginner and they're cheaper that way. I want one that isn't too difficult to use, but nothing too simple either. Maybe something that will allow me to start out easy, but will also have a few extra features so that I don't have to go out a few months later because my first one only has the basics.

I would recommend a Canon such as the XTi. Its cheap/light/small but has good image quality and features. Read the review(s) here for more info:

Don't buy a certain brand of SLR just because its 'good for beginners,' with the idea of possibly changing brands later on. Once you invest in lenses/accessories for one, you won't want to re-buy everything to switch.
For people getting thier frist DSLR I usually recommend the D40. I have a Nikon D40 and I love it. The D40 has a full manual mode, Flexible progam, aperature priority, shutter priority modes. These are the same modes on all DSLR. It also has several other programed modes for things like portrait, night, children etc. As a photographer improves and learns to use metering better these additional modes seldom get used so they are usually found on the more amature cameras and seen as not needed on the professional cameras. I feel I have a fair amount of experience as a photographer and it performs well for me but I can give it to my 12 y/o grandson if set on program and he can get good usable pictures as well. His photography is improving as he is already learning to use many of the functions himself ( yes I'm a proud granpa) .
I also would not get caught up in the megapixel hype and instead look at the entire sensor issue. Look at the article I linked below The D40 will do everything a beginner to intermediate photographer needs at a great price. It comes with an 18-55 lens. It will let you use any other money to buy more accessories. And by the time you outgrow it cameras will have advanced to the point that most of what is on the market now would be obsolete. I bought a D300 last year and only had a it a few months when the D700 came out. The canon would also serve you well but I am a Nikon person so I suggest them. I have friends that are very happy with thier canon's and take great photos. You will have others that like Pentax and Olympus and they are not bad cameras but if they were in the same ballpark you would see many more professional photographers use them
With both the D300 and D40 available to me I often grab the D40 when I am shooting for fun. Its nearly weightless and fun and easy to use
