Default Need help about Oxygen Bank 2 Sensor 1 form Lexus is 250 - 2006

Dear guys,
I hope you guys are doing good today. I am pretty new in this forum. This is my first post and I need your guys help.
First at all, I have lexus is250 year 2006, I got engine light show up then I went to dealer to take a look , they cost me $129.00 ( I was so stupid because I felt inspection and on the paper it did show me the reason why my car did not pass )

I asked the adviser Lexus dealer. He told me that I need to replace " Oxygen Bank 2 sensor 1 " with $519.00 ( Hmm I wish I could punch him but I m too skinny). I act like naive. Why it is too expensive. He said that " Well, you got discount from me because you spent $129.00 for diagnostic so now you just pay $399.00 to fix it ).

Then I hold and check my smart phone imediatly , went to ebay site, type Oxygen bank 2 sensor 1. The prizes was around $87-$120.

Next, I told him I will ask my dad and let him know if he would like to fix it and walk out from the Lexus dealer.

Here my question for you guys.
Could you tell me a part number or what does it look like because on ebay it does has many oxygen sensor I don't know which one fix for my car. ( Oxygen Bank 2 Sensor 1 )

Anyway could I replace it DIY. If someone is this 4room did it before. Please tell me your opinion and how hard it was. Thank you so much for your time to read my story.

4th item down. As far as replacing it. I haven't changed one. But its pretty straight forward. Grab a sensor socket from a local auto parts store to make it easier.

Thank you for your quick reply. I take a look now.

89465 8946553230
SENSOR, OXYGEN (LEFT / DRIVER SIDE) (AWD - ALL WHEEL DRIVE) - B2, S1 BANK 2, SENSOR 1

WHy it cost so much? Ebay and autopart around $100-120. That is why I never went to Dealer to fix anything. It was my first time and I hate it.

Bank 2 is driver side. The sensor costs so much because it is OEM Lexus from a Lexus dealership. Higher pricing always at the dealer because they need to turn a profit selling it.

The ones you see on eBay are probably aftermarket and not OEM Lexus (toyota).

Now some aftermarket parts are okay. Bosch sensors are good. Denso etc.... But sometimes they can give you issues (Not fitting correctly, or working at all for that matter)

I choose to buy OEM everything if I can. No chance of a headache or wondering if it will work correctly or not.

You can buy the denso off eBay or online part store with the same part number cheaper than dealer. Only difference is they don't say Toyota on them with a higher price tag. Bought a few off online store and 3yrs no issues.
