Depends on the year of your car.
1997-2000 will run you new about $370 bucks for 4 sensors. 2001-2004 will cost about 100 bucks less than that.
i dont know about used. probably depends on how old they are. if they are a couple of years old it is best to just buy the new ones because the battery life in the sensors ranges from 6-8 years.

The GM part # for the 97-00 sensors is 10438853.
4 of them, with s+h from http://www.gmpartsdirect.com will run $378.24
You cannot use the newer 01-04 style sensors, they will not work on earlier cars.
Since you are mounting them in Iforged wheels, you do not need to order the nut or O-ring for the sensors.
Since you have a few weeks, keep an eye on the parts forum...these come up for sale quite often. You now know what new ones will cost ya, finding a set of good used ones for $200 or less is quite common.
Buying a refurbished set from http://www.nericreations.com with brand-new batteries installed might be another option worth pursuing.

I sold my wheels/tires to a forum member, he didn't need the sensors and told me he would send them back to me. That was months ago, no answer on his phone, I got beat....
So I was going to get new but, I'm still up in the air. Can you shut off the message on the DIC???

If you can crack the case cleanly, and don't mind digging through a lot of potting compound to get to the battery, and are willing to destroy some sensors in the learning process...give it a try.

The TPM system can be disabled with a GM Tech-2 programmer...BUT, only on 2001/newer cars.
There is no known way to disable it or kill the warning messages for the earlier models.

If running with NO sensors on an older model... the DIC will throw messages up. Fine.. can deal with that for short period.
BUT, if another issue comes up, will the new message override the TPS DIC message? Like Low Level, Can you view / scroll thru other parts of the system?

They are going to cost you about $350-$400. I see them advertised in the parts for sale section often for less, but you will have to consider whether they will last a long time or not - the batteries do go out after about 5-7 years. Try dealers like Fred Beans Pontiac or Fichtner Chevy for prices.
