You can get AC Delco units from "thepartsladi" on ebay for very reasonable prices. I got mine for $268 shipped.

Vented GM LIST: $594.32

Non-vented GM LIST: $701.11

Those are the current, real, list prices. Most people around here don't buy for list price from the dealer. If you use someone like the contact on my Tech Page, you can pay wholesale (or close to it), which is on average about half of list.

I didn't have one either, but I specifically made one just to buy the opti.

ok well im gonna definitly order one from ebay, i found someone with an account i can use. now heres my question:

one from "thepartsladi" is about 270, which seems fair enough, but what do you think of this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...spagenameZWDVW
why is that so cheap? do you think its a scam or something?

Rebuilt or a Chinese knock-off for that price. I would stay away.
