i called my local stealership and they said it would be $149 for an o2 sensor for my 86 runner... is that rediculous? or reasonable? Or should i get it from autozone or kragens? what do you guys think, let me know. thaks- aaron

Seems a bit high to me. Try e-mailing another member, TOR. He works at a delearship and can usually do real well on prices.

Try here also. OEM part.

NGK

You can also use the ngk part # and search the web to try and find a better price.

If you pm or e-mail TOR for a price include your VIN # as that will enable him to get the correct part.

I got mine for $90 straight from the dealer...walked in told them what I wanted and I walked out and installed it, that seems very high to me!

Yup, definitely call TOR, or email him. I've bought several things from him. Prices for parts here in Colorado are just outrageous. Just had him ship a new spedo-cable for $53, they wanted $85 here in colorado.

Since you can get them for around $40 from the likes of Advance, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for one.

FWIW - I always prefer to go OEM versus a universal brand just for the peace of mind I have from using stock parts...I dunno if its worth it to you guys but it is for me.

I received feedback from the dealer and they said they will replace up to 80,000 miles on the second generation 4runners!
