I bought one at the dealer not long ago for about $35. The coolant one was the expensive one! Somewhere close to $100 as I remember. The junkyard ones are a waste of gas to drive there, pull it, and come home to have it leak a month later unless it looks brand new and actually is, which I highly doubt you'll find one of those. Its like going to a Minnesota junkyard for a set of parking brake cables--not a promising idea.
The braided ones are very nice to have and cheap, too. Your old oil feed hose wasn't going to last much longer anyway without a leak anyway. Yes, they can be patched up successfully with some high pressure fuel hose and it'll last a long time, but I don't mickey mouse cars like that anymore. Its amazing how much more reliable a car is when you consistently use new parts rather than old hacked up stuff.
