What he said ^^^. A Pike or Z1 is probably your best bet.

If you don't mind QR then you can probably find a nice deal on a Fox Vanilla 32. With spacers I think you can either have 110mm or travel or the full 130mm travel.

Pike I think is a little bit out of my price range.

Lets go with $150 - 350.

What is the Argyle Worth?

Did you file a police report on the guy who hit you? Shoulda had his insurance recoup your losses.

It was my fault, or atlease my dad keeps yelling that at me.

For the Price, I will actully go from $200 to $400. (CDN)

I got my Pike Dual Air for $450cdn brand new off of eBay, shipping included. You'll likely want a Coil version so you could probably hunt around and find something cheaper. The Pike is an awesome fork...it's a popular choice for the DJers around here...

Just make sure the guy has a high postive feedback and he's not dodgy or anything. I got my fork off ebay and i've had no troubles. Might need a service later down the track, but its all good. :)

Likewise I got my fork from eBay, the seller owned a bikeshop and had high feedback. As long as you do your part to ensure a safe transaction its all good

You should be checking local. nsmb.com and pinkbike.com both have solid sales areas with local riders. I have sold a few things to people through nsmb.com. Its always fun to get a call from someone just up the street looking at the part I am trying to sell haha
