Default another boring o2 sensor question$240


Sorry, but here comes another boring o2 sensor question.

I have been trying to support my local auto parts shops, and have been calling around fro prices on a Bosch O2 sensor with the OE connector. Here is my problem. They want $240 for the part (that is $240 each post and pre converter). The onlline prices I see are in the ballpark of $80 each. This is for a 96 civic lx with the 1.6 liter engine.

So are they WAY overpriced or am I looking at the wrong parts on-line:

Thanks for your advice.

BTW if I am violating forum ettiquette by posting links to vendor pages, let me know.

Cheers,

CAW

Get a universal O2 sensor from your local supplier.
Splice the wires with the original plug that is in your car. I recently bought a Bosch O2 sensor and it came with a connection kit so you don't have to go out and buy separate soldering stuff or splicing kits.

yeah, don't be afraid of splicing the wires it doesn't affect the o2 sensors operation at all
