O2 sensor needed...advice?

I have a 2k GLE with about 37.5k on the odo. Anyway, my service engine soon light came on, so I got it checked out at AutoZone. Turns out my front 02 sensor needs replacement. Of course, I'm just barely out of the warranty period (even though the car is less than 3 yrs old, but has over 36K on it). Argh! Anyone know how much it should cost to get replaced (just trying to figure out how badly my dealer will try to rip me off). Anyone have a similar problem, or think I'll have any success getting them to pick up the tab on the repair b/c its just barely over the 36k mark, and less than 3 yrs. Thanks in advance guys.

Covered under emissions warranty, go to the dealer and get it done.

And how long does the emission warranty?
