Default cheap 02 sensors??

anybody sell 02's for a noticably cheaper price than most guys....
I'll probably just get them from the local auto parts store...but if somebody is having some major special or if somebody sells them at like 1/2 the price or something...that would be good....
Just thought I'd check here first.....

I would stick to factory 02 sensors. I had Bosch on mine (got them from work for very cheap) for a while and I kept throwing codes evey other week. So I went back to Delco and have had no problems whatsoever.

Ive also heard that Bosch are not as good as the delco o2's. I would go for delco. 02's are not a part to slack off on.

I bought a pair of new AC Delco AFS97 Sensors on ebay for $32.11 each. There were several at the time.

Were they the "old" style?(brown wire cover,new ones look exactly like the stock ones),after going through 5 sets of O2's,tracking down vacuum leak,I couldnt see paying the $150/ea the dealer wanted vs. $79/ea. for the bosch and done a side by side comparison and the read within .005+/- of each other,maybe you just got a bad set,anyway you get a three month warranty with the bosch,that you can use if they go bad cause of a rich or extremely lean condition
