So is it a 2000 or a 2002? You posted both. Not that it matters. I think your car is possessed and that's why it was sold for so cheap. lol.
Anyway, how does the car drive? I can't imagine the car driving properly or at all if those sensors were really bad. There has to be some kind of electrical problem somewhere or else the ECU took a crap on you. Electrical problems can be a bitch to find. I went through it when one of my O2 sensor wires got a tiny little hole in it by rubbing against the block and shorted out. Every time I would start my car and give it gas a fuse would blow and the car would shut off. It took me and my Father 3 days to figure it out. My Father finally figured it out after looking at the dealer manuals and studying the circuit diagrams. $500 is a lot to check for an electrical problem, but it can be a real bitch to find.
If you want to swap anything out first, find a used ECU and swap that because I can't see it being one of those sensors.
Where in PA are you? My parents live in Shickshinny near Wilkes-Barre and I'm headed there this weekend to do some work on my Galant. I have a 1999 ES V6 and I'm thinking you could try out my ECU in your car to see if it works before buying one.

Just to update, I recently fixed my beloved Galant this past week 9/20. I reset my ecu and took it to mechanic to inspect for grounds. Find wires are still in good working order nothing really stood out to both of us while checking wiring harness. We simply replaced the (bank1 sensor2) 02 sensor and the EGR which seem to be holding pretty well. So far so good :) But hey never know, later on might come back to kick me in the butt :P lol. I am now running on Shell v-power to prevent any future carbon build up and help clean EGR system.
Electrical Problem. Now Simple 02/EGR Repair.
