After months of scratching heads, the stealership has finally diagnosed the problem with my car as having a faulty optispark. No way in hell am I letting them fix it as they want $1,700 to replace that and a waterpump. Question is, has anyone come across a better deal than Sam Taylor? I've seen some on Ebay for under 200 but not sure if their legit or not, what's your opinion?

$1700 dollars... Wow....
I've seen the ones advertised on ebay, but I've never tried one.. for $1700, you could try a few...
Good luck..2005 GTO (mine) K&N CAI and Magnaflow exhaust, drilled and slotted rotors, and other minor mods.

You won't really find a genuine GM opti for less than what Jason Cromer at Sam Taylor will sell you.Rob B 95Z A4 Tech Page (Part numbers / locations, how to's, schematics, DTC's...) Home Page - shbox.com

$1700 can buy quite a bit of horsepower. I recommend NOT using the "made in china or panama or pakistan or wherever the hell brand". it is too much of a pain to replace and they can fail again within months (BEEN THERE!! ) although being the frugal and cheapa$$ i am, i bought another one (but "made in USA brand") on ebay for $120-ish and i got it late november. Still running strong baby!-Ryan-

Originally posted by bollarsAnyone buy from Sam Taylor recently? I called today and they quoted me $370 for the distributor not including shipping. I bought one a little over two years ago for $300 shipped if I remember correctly . That dynaspark one actually looks like pretty good quality.Rob B 95Z A4 Tech Page (Part numbers / locations, how to's, schematics, DTC's...) Home Page - shbox.com
