Yeah, I was wrong on the price....

Their price (watch the "shipping and handling"): $71.96

You were, and you are.
They cost you almost 90 bucks at {Non-supporting vendor}. ($86.35 to be exact.) Can´t you read?
To that they don´t deliver the O-ring, which a GM dealer most likely just gives you.
If you buy all four,
{Non-supporting vendor} charge you almost $60 for shipping & handling ($57.57 to be exact).
Your statement "(watch the "shipping and handling")" was very wise though. :yesnod:

I´d vote for our supporting GM dealer Fichtner for example. :steering:
Hey, Manny, what's the problem? I wasn't, and I'm not. Check your post cut an paste, OK? You're confusing my post with saxn8r's.

I realize you're doing this long distance from Sweden, but all I did was post the results from that website, after you enter the part number for the sensors which I included in the post above.

Before you get so, ahhh..., definitive, why don't 'cha just go to that site, put in that part number, and then post the results.

Huh, OK? :mad

Part #: 10438853

GM List (which is what most dealers try to charge): $126.25
GM Wholesale (like Fichtner): $94.68
The"non supporting vendor" price (watch the "shipping and handling"): $71.96
So as to not keep splitting hairs, nota bene:

The costs above are without tax, shipping, and handling.

At the GM dealer, you must include the local sales tax.

At Fichtner, you must include shipping .


At the "non supporting vendor," you must include shipping and handling, which as I stated originally, can be considerable, and not worth the differential, if any, between the :nion supporting vendor" and Bob Wendorff.

That's why I generally buy from Bob -- a live person, excellent assistance, recommendations, and good service. The "non supporting vendor's" few pennies less aren't worth it.

Manny, I edited the post's quote to make it more clear -- I know how to cut and paste. You say tomato, I say tomato. :flag
