Is there any web site or book that gives an idea on what to expect when you go to buy parts for a car ? I tend to keep my cars about 10 years and am amazed at the prices of many of the parts, e.g., "2004 Nissan Sentra “speed sensor,” $350.00 ! ---

Any of the majors have on line parts look up and give pricing. Rockauto is a good one as well as NAPA. ---

I’m looking right at the Auto Zone web page that says 185.99 for that sensor. Yours sounds like Nissan list price. Maybe different by geographic area and supply chain but dig a little deeper. ---
