Anyone found a new opti vendor since thepartsladi and thepartspros are gone?

I've searched and i can't find an answer. All of the old posts I'm finding are recommending to purchase from thepartsladi...but she's no longer on ebay.

Others have said that thepartspros picked up where she left off, but I've yet to find them on ebay either.

I called Jason Cromer today to get a price on an opti but he was busy and the guy that I spoke with gave me a price of 394.00.

I saw a link on another site to an ebay listing by Pace Performance Parts. Price for an unvented I believe was about $350. Real GM Performance Parts.

whew...weren't they going for about 250 for genuine gm from thepartsladi? Seems like Jason quoted me about 270 (memory could be off though) the last time I talked to him. I was really surprised to hear the other guy today quote me almost 400 bucks!

i got an opti from thepartsladi this year, it said Delphi. the shop said, "but it's not AC Delco". well ok, but it's also not a cheap knockoff from china either

too bad about partsladi, i didn't know. i also got a new LT1 MAF for $155 from him (w/ screen) and to tell the truth, car runs better w/ it. i threw it on the day i got it, before the opti install

I'm surprised to hear Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac (Jason Cromer) being that high. The last opti I bought from him was around $250. I would try him again.

Yeah, it may be bc I didn't talk directly to Jason. The guy I talked to claimed the price he quoted me was "his price." I'm guessing me meant wholesale? He said...retail on the opti was 700.00.

When GM spun off many of their parts divisions to raise cash (at least 5 years ago), AC Delco became part of a new company called Delphi. That is an OEM part, the name of the company making it was changed.
