Default OPTISPARK FOR $647.99 FROM JEFF?????

I THOUGHT JEFF HAD THE BEST OPTISPARK PRICES AROUND. SO WHATS UP W/THE $647DOLLAR PRICE I WAS QUOTED TODAY FOR A 1994LT1, "OUCH" ?? MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER SAID HE WOULD SELL ME ONE FOR 390+TAX. I DONT MIND THE WAIT VIA MAIL, I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!! ANYONE HAVE ANY SOURCES FOR A GM OPTISPARK WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

That's the normal charge when you use ALLCAPS on an e-mail.

That sounds like the normal dealer lets f you price to the average person. Be sure he knows you are a forum member.

I just love the way GM made such a POS part like the opti and then really sticks it to LT1 owners when they replace it. Gee, I wonder why so many people buy imports. :rolleyes: Parts are expensive but they last a lot longer.

I think I would just go to someone who will give you the best price no matter who you are. If you have the part number, try gmpartsdirect.com. Sometimes the shipping is a little high, but if you can't get anyone to sell it to you for the "wholesale" price locally these folks will. And you don't have to say the special word to get the special price. :rolleyes:

I wonder, when Jeff gave you the price, did you question it to make sure you were pricing the opti-spark only, or did you just get on the forum and start blasting him over the price? I have never heard anyone else complain about poor service from Jeff.

Sounds like he just told you list price. Did you ask for list or what it would cost you? Sounds like a miscommunication. Call him back.

I'm sure there is some misunderstanding. Jeff Koop is very dependable and offers us really good pricing.

Jeff just saved me over $1,000 this afternoon, and "who knows how much" over the last year or so! I think I'm going to send him a case of something drinkable!
