I would have to say that you will come out just as cheap as anywhere else by going to Advance Auto and buying one. Im a car stereo dealer and my cost on that battery is $93 and change. By the time I have something that heavy shipped to me its not that much cheaper than store price.

The battery Optima recommends for your application is the 75/35. Retail on that battery ranges from 110 to 120. Of course that is on exchange and I would be buying them outright but you aint got much use for a dead battery now do you?
