Default Best place to buy GM O2 sensors?

I was wondering if anyone knew the best (meaning cheepest place) to get a GM O2 sensor. I need to replace the drivers side before cat sensor it keeps blowing out the bosch ones, and also I need a new alternator it took a crap on me this Saturday while taking it out for a drive. The one car i rarely use gives me the most problems.
thanks for your help.

The Chevy dealership on 50 had them for $115 a piece the other day I was in there.
I'm still hoping that there is somewhere out there on the internet that has the AC Delcos cheaper.

Drive it more often, take it up to the Chickfila on Thursdays so people can look at something nice and take the woman out to eat or something.

How's your brothers car turning out?

Motor is sitting here with the new clutch attached to it. Just have to get the trans on it and back in the car, I hope to be running within two weeks.

Good to hear that Jeep is still running. Bummer he had to sell the Bird.

Yeah seems there is a Mustang or Honda hatch of some sort on every corner now, have to get the GM's out there....
Going to go to the event at Gainesville next month?

Same question for Scoggin Dickey, what is the price on some o2 sensors, or is it just best to call? I think I would be doing my new motor a injustice running 4 year old failing Bosch o2s........

Napa use to make a pretty good O2 sensor..... they lasted pretty good in turbo dodges, Bosch one's always burned out quickly.

Ordered o2's from Scoggin Dickey today, a lot better price than the local dealerships.

Ken the Gainesville deal is Nov. 15th. There is a sticky at the top of the FL section about it. So its not this upcoming weekend its next month. Good luck at your competition.

Motor went in the car yesterday, just mailed out my PCM. I hope to be running the middle of next week!
