Flex Fuel Sensor

I've already posted this in the WTB section, but so far there is no bite.

If anyone knows where I can get a CM Flex fuel sensor for cheap, I'm all ears. I've checked the local junk/salvage yards with no avail.

Come on boys, give me something!

As soon as I get it, I'll let you know, because I'm going to need a little bit more help setting it up.

...And thanks bro, you've been a huge help.

deal fell through and got way to expensive. I tried http://www.junkyarddog.com/, but it seems I can't find anything relavent. I even called them and they can't help me either.

Any more suggestions?

There's a guy selling new sensors (newer part number too) on eBay. He usually has a starting price of $150. I wouldn't bid more than about $325 though as gmpartsdirect sells the sensors for about $350.

Its this one:

The guy claims that he found a box full of NIB sensors in some stuff that he won at an auction. This is where I got mine. It is brand new as advertised.

I bought one on eBay for about $380 this past winter. That was still cheaper than any GM Parts sites had them for at the time. Looked identical to the one in the above link. . .

gmpartsdirect has it for $372. Price has gone up recently. Last I checked a few months ago, it was about $350. New or used, I think these things are only going to go up in price as E85 conversions become more and more popular.

I would definitly like to buy the one from ebay, but for some reason I have a hard time justifying a total price of $500+ for a gauge because I know I'm not going to be able to hook it up myself, when I'm going to have two maps.
-E85
-93oct

Serbian gauge-$175
Flex Fuel Gauge-$300

My wallet hates me

$372 is a good deal. They were well over $400 when I was looking. . .
