I am planning to replace the Knock sensors in my 98 Q in the next couple of weeks. The question I had is regarding the huge price difference between places like the dealer (250 Each), online infiniti parts store (142 each) and ebay where they range from 30-200.

Does anyone have any input on what the difference is between them.

Dealer is true OEM and ebay is a Chinese knock off unless proven otherwise. For the labor (Time) I would go with OEM since you replace them once every 5-10 years depending on how the car is treated.

Well its only got 140k miles on it. Assuming that there are no major issues after this repair, then I would keep it for another 2-3 years minimum.
