Default Question about the VX Oxygen sensor

Can anyone inform me on why the VX o2 sensor is so expensive? I was going through a few Honda dealerships inquiring about the prices and the lowest I have found was $218 and the highest being $475. WTF?

Why the high cost? Is it because of the o2 sensor being 5 wire or what? I tried to search for an answer on here but could not find anything pertaining to this issue at hand.

Thanks.

Its really called a LAF sensor which stands for Lean air fuel. Its a Ion generator not an O2.

Oh okay. That explains the LAF sensor message I got from scanning the ECU when the CEL is on.

Thanks man.
