19.95....you just got to know a few good people.
It is the same as buying a Tahoe. It cost GM only 9600 dollars (rough) to
build those SUV. Then they sell them to the dealer for 15K less than the
MSRP.

Subject: Re: DML: RE: So... How long do O2 sensors live??
Replacing one (well, 2 if you replace both sensors) $75-$100 part on an
annual
basis (or more) seems to be a bit excessive. I've never heard anything
anywhere about O2 sensors being replaced at less than 50K intervals.
