I was thinking of buying a used mass air flow sensor online but don't know if it is a wise thing to do considering it is a sensor? Your thoughts?

why buy a used one for typically around 50-60 bucks a junkyard when you get a new for less than 90 shipped. i got mine from jerryromenissan.com for around 82 shipped a few months back and i cannot imagine the price going up that much.

I found one on ebay, just skeptical about getting it used. It says its in good working condition. I think you guys are right though. Spend a few extra bucks and get a new one. Thanks.
