My opti crapped out again when I was driving to Boston. I had some coolant leaking from my t-stat for some reason and with my luck some of it got on the opti-crap and now the car doesn't start. It got towed to a chevy dealership and I'm about 60 miles away in Boston. They are charging me $700 dollars for the opti. I told them to hold the repairs because there is no way I'm gonna get ripped off for that stupid opti. The cheapest I found so far was $320 dollars from gmpartsdirect.com. Is there any place I can get one cheaper, it has to be brand new. I need this really quick. I appreciate any suggestions you guys can give me. Thanks.

 

check out dynotech engineering for a new opti. i have heard great things about them, and i will soon purchase one of their units.

better and longer life than stock

all you need is the cap and rotor, they are about 160 i think at a dealer. I got mine for less since i know a wholesaler and work at a dealer =P

But since GM had soo many problems with opti's leaking they allowed a kit to buy just the cap n rotor, i'll talk to parts and get the PN if you like..

Thanks guys, appreciate the help.

 

I would appreciate if you do that. I'm pretty sure all I need is that. My opti only has 4,000 miles on it, I changed in the spring.

The Dynaspark seems like a good alternative but it's too expensive for me right now. Being a broke college student sucks.
