djmark7 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Anybody know where to buy 'em CHEEP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Several online dealers sell OEM parts at about 30% off the MSRP (list) price. After discount, knock sensors seem to average about $70 plus S/H; a used one might be "CHEEP", but with that part you could easily get what you pay for.

subaru chuck Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 autozone looks like a good price but they quoted me $89.00 for one My 1963 CORVAIR never had a knock sensor, and ran for years cheaply. These are "designed in" expenses the buyer isnt aware of until after the purchase.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are "designed in" expenses the buyer isnt aware of until after the purchase.:-\ 1963 was many years before the Clean Air Act, the Arab Oil Embargo, CAFE standards, etc, etc, etc. Automakers are fighting an ongoing battle to build vehicles that meet increasingly stringent US safety, mileage, and emissions requirements and still perform reasonably well. As a result, cost and complexity are constantly increasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
