Cheap Maf Sensor?

Is there anywhere I can get a MAF Sensor for under $500? I really need a new one.

www.thepartsbin.com has them for 250 new/reman.

www.car-parts.com has them for as low as 25 dollars from junkyards.

90% of the cars in junkyards are there because they were wrecked, not because the engine doesn't run.

Plus almost all of the yards around here have at least a 90 day warranty on that kinda stuff.

I'll see if I can get one from a junkyard or those websites. Thanks!

Just got the maf sensor today at a junkyard for $100. It was from a 97 max with 27,000 miles. Installed it and everything is fine so far! Gonna add an upper intake pipe probably tommorow. Thanks everyone.
