Default ABS wheels speed sensor

I have ABS and VSC OFF lights in dash, Snap-on scan tool pointed to the left rear speed sensor.
Shall I get a used OEM one off Ebay for around $70 or Rockauto at $130 (shipping including on both)?

I would go new on most any thing related to brakes.

if use I would find one with a 30 day warranty for <$50 at a local/not local yard.

otherwise new. this is an electrical component, not a wearable brake part.

I replaced mine on my is300 with a used one of a parted out is300. Seller maintained it worked beforehand and once I got it and installed it...worked perfectly. You're gonna wanna disconnect the battery before install and then reconnect...it will take you driving for a little while for the lights to go away, but they will and you'll be happy

The cheapest sensor I could get on Ebay was $70 (off of 1999 LS, just like mine) installed it and the dash light is gone!
