Need help finding an oscilloscope

[jack112286]

Hi guys, I am in the market looking for an oscilloscope, but I am having trouble looking for one.

Here`s what I require:

At least 2 channel (4 would be better but not required)
Able to record the reading
at least 50 MHz
Be able to output stored readings(this is the part I am having a hard time doing).
Hopefully under $1000 all said and done

I want to be able to use this tool for diagnosing electrical components and learn (play) more about electrical components, mainly automotive related.

Say for example, I have a magnetic pickup sensor, I want to be able to test it. Store the data, output the store data to the computer.

Thank you very much. I have found this forum with many learning information.

Oh I forgot. It is mainly low voltage application. 0 - 15 V

I could check out http://www.bncscientific.com and see what they have. I think they carry Rigol, but their stuff isn't overly expensive. You can usually get something of pretty good quality for cheap.
