Just be aware that the batteries cannot be replaced. Is there any way to tell how old the parts are that you buy at a deep discount on eBay?

In my entire history with cars with TPMS, I've never had a battery fail or any failure of any type with the systems. Who knows, but at the price savings, I think you could gamble a little. These of course are GM products. If anyone on the forum has had a problem with TPMS purchased off of eBay, maybe they will chime in. NOTE: I googled shelf life for TPMS sensors and it said they have a useful life of from 5 to 10 years for whatever that might help in decisions. It's been a long long time since I kept a car even 5 years. My last one didn't last 30 days and it was totaled by a rear end crash while I sat at a traffic light...lol.

do you still need a programmer for a new set of OEM TPMS sensors, or does the car pick them up?

I've heard that some cars program themselves, but my experience with Camaros they don't. There's a GM program tool on eBay (here we go again) for less than 10 dollars and I've had two of them and they work very well. The first was a Bosch branded unit, but the others, obviously made by the same manufacturer are unbranded. I gave the others away when I sold tires or wheels. Easy to operate and something you need if you swap between wheels and tires maybe for an attack on the drag strip...lol.

Cheapest I can find is a set of 4 sensors and locking nuts for $183 shipped from wildhammer motorsports. Purchased from them before and will buy these from them. Cheap compared to the $85 a piece my local dealer quotes me

I checked again on the actual vendor of the 4 that I just bought off of eBay and they were sold by GM Parts Direct. I suspect they keep parts moving through their system without a lot of shelf life so batteries shouldn't be a problem. These especially since Camaro guys are always changing wheels. $111.00 and no taxes with free shipping...pretty hard to beat for 4 of the correct TPMSs.

Don't go for the cheapest. Make sure they are genuine GM parts. Too many people have had trouble by trying to save money.
