Default O2 Sensor for $134??

I called the stealership to price a pre-cat O2 sensor since you all scared me away from Bosch. The stealership wants $134 for the precat sensor with the 18" wires. Does that sound right, or was he greasing up his fingers?

Can you say "stealership" ? Order an NTK from Rock Auto. Or find out if your local Advance has NTK.

It is more than double the cost of NTK's most expensive ones at Advance Autoparts.

Was hoping to do one stop shopping with the $10.75 vacuum check valves and O2 sensor. Guess not. That stupid dealership has tried to rob me more times than the local homeless guy!

That's what they are in business for. (the dealership, not the homeless guy....) Where else would you be charged seven bucks for a two dollar spark plug?

Not sure if I need:

23099 - looks like 19" wires
23151 - looks like 19" wires as well, but $2 cheaper
23506 - looks like 15" wires and is $10 cheaper.

Anyone know?

I just got mine from NAPA.
Around $60.00
See if you have one near you.
It was an NTK brand.
