Cheapest Place To Buy An Opti-Spark?

I've seen this out in the topic area before, but what is the cheapest place to buy an opti-spark? I don't mind ordering it from the US. I thought there was someone who work in florida at a dealership that sold them for a good price.

Thanks, Pat

how do you get ahold of him? i haver a customer that needs an opti, but 300 as listed on that website is expensive/same as any other dealer. guys here in cincy refer him too, so i'm guesssing he gives a better deal than whats listed on the website?

I sell them at my job for 169. Checker Auto parts. Or Kragen, or Schucks. Or try partsamerica.com, same companies. i think they sell it for like 195 online though.
I think the price also changes depending on where you live.

Think autozone has them for 120 after you give a core, 210 otherwise.

Is that for the whole thing or is it just the cap and rotor.
I priced one up here in Indiana through a GM dealership with my mechanic's discount and for a completely new opti it was around $380 and I think Advanced Auto was even higher than that.

That sounds about right then, I'm replacing everything.
I should've listened to fastbird93 the first time when he told me never to replace just part of the opti.

I ahve heard nothing but problems with aftermarket products. your much much better off with a delco compleate unit.

Cromer is always the cheepst around, GMpartsdirect.com is usualy good but shiping usualy sucks
