I have to buy an optispark so here is my question... What difference is there between the $397 one from local chevy dealer $ 270 from autozone " which is in like 2 or 3 parts" and the one for $234 from GMpartsdirect.com i have the ability to get whatever one... so if i can save a few bucks and get the one from GM that would be great... any advice/feedback? also while i have this thing out and changing it.. anything else i should do while im in there?? TIA HOLY ****!! shipping of an opti from GMpartsdirect is $50?!?!?!? can that be right?!? anyone know about this??

 

Mr. Cromer sells them for just over $200 I believe, for the 95 and up type. Unless you go ebay I think that's the cheapest. Autozone electronics suck I have a opti. from them and it's causeing my lack of hp right now. After I get my frame fixed that's the next thing I'm going to buy. I'll definitly going through jason he's a good guy.

You need to post the year of your car because there are different optis.

Yes, that shipping from gmpartsdirect is correct. They blatantly tell you that is how they make their money.

Buy from either of these guys and save some more money:

Dal Slabaugh: 877-448-5451
email: lockitup@bright.net
VanDevere Buick/Pontiac/Olds Akron, OH

or

Jason Cromer: 877-726-8295 or 850-243-8826 (direct parts dept ph #)
email: parts@samtaylor.com
Sam Taylor Buick/Cadillac Ft. Walton Beach, FL

 

Here is a bump for Jason Cromer!! Ordered my opti today, $215 + $8 shipping. thank you very much Jason

 

Exactly what he said. I talked to Dal today, he had the vented for $198, but BOTH guys have GREAT reps.
