Default Opti-spark prices...where and who

Well the bad news I have to replace my opti-spark

So; who and where has the best prices on these all important parts?

Chris at Superior is asking $350 plus shipping for an opti that fits a "94" Vette

Try calling Dal @ vandevere in Ohio. 2 years ago his price was $198 for the 1995 opti.

Chris always charges 15% over cost (GMPartsDirect price), but with Chris you can do it over the phone and get service after the sale.

also, shipping via ordering from Superior Chevrolet usually pans out to $8.95 per order.......GMPartsDirect can't compete with that when they tack on the "handling" part.

I thought you did the opti last month or something??? what was busted then???

I am sooo confused...

But ordering from Chris is a good thing! There are some other dealers that charge cost, but I started with Chris, and his service is worth it to me and I feel loyal because of it... does that make sense?

I just purchased an opti from Dal at Vandevere Olds, it was ~$35 cheaper than Chris' price.

sadly, no... once the opti starts throwing codes, it's done.
