Default 08 astra coil pack.

With 38,000 miles on my astra my coil has gone bad. My car is running on 3 cylinders. With this stupid design from GM of a one piece coil the part is not cheap. Is there anyone out there that knows the cheapest place to order that part. By the way I'm not buying the one on e-bay from Hong Kong for 69.99 lol!! Also I tried cross referencing the coil pack from the Chevy Cruze. Everything is the same but the connection plug is diff. So I don't think that will work. Thanks ahead of time.

saturnparts.net is about 3 bills...

http://www.partswebsite.com/saturnpa...n=3&type=parts

Now Autozone (this site's favorite parts source) has it for a bargain at 8 bills

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par.../N-jsvt9Z9n80r

Now NAPA has it for 6 bills

http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...696_0359714805

Advance has it for 6 1/2 bills

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...15034|L3*16064

partstrain.com is a little over 4 1/2 bills

http://www.partstrain.com/store/??N=...universal:0%29

rockauto.com has several -- one is under 3 bills, others up to 5 1/2

(can't post link - -you must browse the catalog)

so on cost alone, saturnparts.net and rockauto.com seem to be pretty close.

don't know what your expectation is.

you could try Rock Auto. I have not had any complaints with parts purchased there yet. Or go back to E-bay and pay $70.00. why not, if it works what are your concerns?
Or go to a wrecking yard and buy one used. There is the possibility you could contact the counter man at 5 finger discount and place and order.
The possibilities are endless!
