am i getting ripped off?

i finally found out that the MAF sensor is whats been messing up my car, so i got an estimate from Maroone ( my cousin works there) so i was getting it at "cost" price. They told me it will cost $395... it seems like a lot considering its a little POS... what other options do i have or is that actually a good deal? Thanks

His cousin is probably selling it at the price he gets it for, MAF's are effing expensive at the dealer.

Not worth spending over $100 to get a new one, get it used and save some $.
