Ignition coil price shock

[OrdinaryMan]

I ran into an issue with a bad ignition coil on my 2015 Soul, the dealer and local stores wanted about 130 bucks each, but I found them online for 40, or even a full set of four for $90. What's up with that?

These online stuff come from warehouses, most of them are cheap products from china too being shipped in mad volume. Local stores pay rent.

Makes sense about the price difference, do you think those cheaper online coils hold up long-term, or is it better to spend more for quality from local stores?

That price difference is pretty common, dealers and local stores often charge a premium for parts due to overhead and warranty coverage, while online sellers can offer lower prices by cutting those costs. Just make sure the cheaper coils you find online are quality parts from reputable brands to avoid headaches down the road.

Did you go with OEM or aftermarket? And did you notice any difference in performance or fit? Curious how long the cheaper ones hold up.
