Default price of coils in USA?

I am going to order new coils for my car - even if they are not finding anything wrong with them - as it seems a reasonable thing to do in my quest to try to get rid of the christmas tree.
I found a very big price spread for the usual Bosch brand, in one very well known internet USA seller they ask 121 U$S each and in other similar place they charge only 57 U$S each.
Is it possible such a big price difference?

Nothing surprises me with price variations. What's the part number?

I got mine from Pelican - no problems so far (one year and counting).

Part number is 944-602-115-00-M14 for the Bosch unit or 944-602-115-00-M100 for the genuine Porsche unit

The Porsche catalog lists them at $121.48.

DC automotive lists a used one at $40

Vertex flaunts them at $49 new:

So, you are correct. Prices really are all over the place. If I were going stock I would order from Vertex as they are a reputable company.

captek mentioned the MSD Blaster. They are under $50 as well.

As long as you are not racing pro stock the MSD should work

Hey glad to help. I'm constantly comparative shopping because I'm so tight I squeak when I walk... and I don't have to pay South American shipping.
