yeah they want 750 for a gm opti at the dealership! 7 freakin 50!

I asked him if it comes with some ky. Haha he just says "what?" and I was completely blown away by his ignorance that I looked at him for a second while laughing, and then just walked out lol. Any words i would have said instead of walking out would have ruined his day!

"thepartsladi" on ebay has the best prices around for genuine AC Delco/Delphi opti's. I have bought 3 from them (one for me and two for buddy's of mine). Last time I bought one it was $255 + shipping for a vented opti.

If you pay anything less than that for a so called OEM opti from anywhere else, I wouldn't count on it running well, or lasting very long.

The difference is that AllIgnition are scam artists and you've just been scammed. That opti you just bought will fail...QUICKLY. Try to cancel the purchase if you can!

Somehow you got redirected to the wrong address and bought a NOT oem opti for like $80 bucks cheaper than what it should be. If you only paid $179 + shipping, then you bought the wrong part, simple as that. You can contact "thepartsladi" and see if they have a pending order with you. If not, try to contact Ebay quickly and tell them about the mishap.

They scam people because their units are NOT oem. They are rebuilt pieces of crap and they have failed on MANY people's cars. Do a search on AllIgnition and you'll find some horror stories.

Yeah so I just got off the phone with Stephan at thepartsladi and he said the guy over at allignition is trying to sell these as a original GM product. He went on to say the metal body is "GM" but the cap and rotor are not. *****. The partladi did find my invoice from them so I'm all good on the opti.

It's all good dude! lol I just went on an emotional rollercoaster! I thought i got jewed huge and rebuild mine with msd for what i could have bought a oem! Turn out elliottsz28 got jewed! And yes an ak and a plane ticket is the best solution lol.
Although I know it would have been better to just spend the extra 100 for the new oem opti

I dint think I could get them that cheap. All my parts I'v got for my car are from eby though, EBAY ROCKS!
