OE O2 Sensor

Just wanted to pass along some info. After noticing a rich fuel condition I had some test done and found that the universal O2 sensor on my GTV6 was totally dead. Of course the IAP cat was closest at the time and when I checked the price I was not shocked but not pleased. $234.00 plus shipping. Well I wasn't going to not shop and I checked Rock Auto and Auto Parts Warehouse and they both have the Bosch OE sensor for $165 and APW has free shipping.

I would order from Rock Auto with full confidence. (Do a search using "Rock Auto" and "Alfisto Steve", and you'll see why I say so.) Also, I've been disappointed by APW before, as they have the nasty habit of advertising what they don't have in stock, and substituting the ordered part for a "comparable" (read "inferior") product.

Best regards,

I've ordered from Rock Auto before and they were very good. When I replaced my water pump on the L they had a new pump on sale for I think $79.00 and no core charge obviously. The rebuilt pump was like $10.00 less and only had a one year warranty, so the choice was clear.
