There's 3 possibilities for a Bosch 02 sensor:
1) Exact-replacement part bought from Saab (you should pay list price,
$218 sounds about right)
2) Exact-replacement part bought from aftermarket supplier (the dealer
pays 15-40% less, you should pay less)
3) "Universal" part bought from an aftermarket supplier. In this case,
you must cut the wires from the old O2 sensor, and crimp/heatshrink the new
one. Functionality is the same, just more work to install. Last time I
checked, dealer cost on one of these was about $60, your price should be
accordingly low.
#3 is probably what Autozone is selling.
