So where is the best place to buy the WB O2 sensor for 117.78?

The sensor showed up today at 6 pm PST.  I'm impressed with the service,
they are in NJ!  Sad news, it is a 4 wire.  Genuine Bosch, but only 4
wires.  I guess the cheapest price is really $117.78...

Am I missing something here?  Are you ordering a connector or a sensor?
