Picked up two at a Carquest about 2 months ago at $62 each. You can use a Bosch sensor from a mid 80's BMW, It's the same sensor. The only difference is that the lead from the sensor to the connector is about 3 inches longer. At half the price of a Porsche part it's no shame to coil up the extra wire and tie it up with a zip tie. Bosch part number is 12 14 1 708 618. Google it and find your best price.
