Where does one buy a washing machine these days?

Ole' beast that came with the house finally sprung a leak. 10+ years old, and apparently it will cost almost as much to fix as a new-ish one. I have never bought one before, and I am a bit wary of the second hand options via Facebook and so forth. Any ideas on where to go and a price range to look for?

Edit: thank you for all the advice. Seems the consensus is to go for appliances online, with some price matching if I can sort that out. You're (mostly) a gem as always, Perth. Love you all.
