I was browsing for parts and ran across this site. I searched O2 sensors and was floored.
For the Bosh o2 pn 15217, the price was $169.99 at Auto Zone.
This place had them for $105
Here is a link , Im hoping this is legit because I will have the car running A1 again in no time.

Do NOT use Bosch. They do not fair well with these ECU's... Stick to Denso. You'll be happy you did!
Plus, the denso one's on Amazon are cheaper.
THe Denso O2 sensor is the same exact thing they sell at toyota/lexus.

Thanks man. Are the Densos the ones that need to be wired in? I would prefer it that way because the connector to the sensor after the manifold looks like a **** to get to.

Your welcome! The Denso's are oe, so they have connectors. Yup, those connectors are b*****s to get to. LOL. But, It probably more weatherproof than splicing the sensor into the existing wire.

Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor with OE SmartLink™, no.15739, $79
Bosch Wideband Air/Fuel Oxygen Sensor, no.15217 $169
Would anyone give me an explain on the difference between the two parts?

The expensive one goes in the exhaust manifolds (upstream) the cheaper one is the one down by the cat (downstream)
I would only use the exact fit Denso parts and I would never cut a wire unless the connector was destroyed.
At $87 for an exact fit I would not even consider anything else.
