Default 1997 es300 sensor inquiry

I have had my es300 for nearly 10 years now and it's about to hit 180k on the odometer. About a week or so ago the check engine light came on so I ran over to auto zone to get the code read. I figured it was an oxygen sensor and sure enough that was the culprit. It's the bank 1 sensor 2 and in the past I replaced this sensor myself probably 7 or so years ago and I recall cutting my hand up pretty good just getting the old one out and the new one in because the spacing is so tight where that sensor is located. A few years after I had replaced that sensor it went bad again so the next time I brought it to the nearest lexus dealership and they swapped it out for me, because I didn't want to get my hand mangled again without the proper tools lol. Anyways to the point. The service department is closed right now otherwise I would have just asked them, but does anyone have a ballpark as to what getting that replaced would set me back?

It's been a few years since I posted here so I couldn't honestly remember if people were allowed to give out prices at all or ballpark numbers and the like. I simply just do not remember what it set me back last time and figured I would hop on here lol. Anyways, any help would be appreciated, I am figuring somewhere in the 400.00 range but wanted to ask anyhow.

So Hi to everyone since I have not been around in a while, hope you all are doing well
Thanks,
Ryan

Youre in the ballpark.. sensor is usually in the 275 range, with about an hours labor to install it. So right around 400.
