    Ignition cassettes for $150?

    I'm checking to see if this is for real -

    What do you guys think? This is absolutely the cheapest ignition cassette I've found. Partsgeek.com seems pretty legit, generally

    Chinese one's I am sure. I don't know if they are crap or not but I would buy used before I would one of those if possible.

    Well, guess it doesn't really matter since both are out of stock, anyway. How would one go about buying a used DIC?

    I bought a used one from Goldwing parts last month.

    Goldwing, Elite Foreign Auto, ebay, are all good starting points.

    Prices came down a bit. $440 for OEM from eEuro and other brands for about $300.

    Thanks for the info, guys! And thanks, Frank, for the link! Have people been claiming bad experiences with the Professional Parts Sweden unit? I'm sure before too long, the OES part won't even be available for purchase anywhere.

    With Saab Parts intact, I do not believe the genuine DI cassette is going anywhere anytime soon, too many cars use it.

    Thus far we have had no failures on the Proparts DI Cassettes. We've even gone as far as to have them placed into a Saab Rally car and the performance exceed expectations.
