optima battery price

Who seems to have the lowest prices on the red top. I see that Corvette Central is asking $140. How about local places such as pep boys etc? Thanks

I did a Google search, found the best price, took that to AutoZone. They matched the price 119.00

Yep, a core charge and then it is refunded. I would think that shipping alone would kill you from cc.
