Ignition Coils on Ebay

[Funmart6]

I was just checking around for coils and came across a no name brand set of 8 brand new coils for $224.95. I didn't see a label on the tops, they were just plain black. Wonder if they are any good, they also sell individually for $49.95 and that is the cheapest I have seen, although the set of 8 is actually $28.11 per coil, which really makes me wonder how good they are.

The Wells coils from AutoZone are black-topped with no label as well.

I'm in need of 4 coils for the rear of my 97'. I'd be willing to experiment for that price. I'm assuming they have more than 8 coils in stock?

Ask the seller on ebay what brand they are!

The seller's name is "alanisdeals" and the item # for the set is 170262164677.
It says there are 8 available, so that may mean eight sets or 8 coils, I would assume 8 sets.
Just search ebay for "taurus sho ignition coils" and they are on there, and I think the seller must have a store on there becuse the prices listed were "buy now" prices and he has several coils for other vehicles listed as well. Hope this helps anyone, I really need to get some coils but can't really afford it at this time, (just spent some money on the Expedition's air ride control compressor) fun job that was. But I figured I would pass along my ebay find on to my SHO-BRO's on here and maybe this will help someone out.

And those offer 12 months warranty- the cheapest ones at AutoZone do not, even though I think the cheap ones for $70-something are actually Wells coils. You have to go up to the next expensive ones ($115-ish?) to get the warranty. I ordered 4 of the cheap ones and got 3 black no-marks like those and one Wells in the box when it showed up. I'm sure they're the same ones. I'd do it- I paid that for 4 coils...

I asked the seller what the brand was and he said they were "wellexpress". Don't know if that is the same as wells or not. I'm going to buy some. I'll let you know how that turns out.

I also asked the seller who the manufacturer is and they told me "Sparktronic, Inc."...

 

[Funmart6]

The seller also told me Wellexpress.

Well I went ahead and bought two sets yesterday. They should arrive no later than the first part of next week. I'll post pics if you guys want.

 

[Funmart6]

Yes, and let us all know how they perform.

 

[turbot4]

they perform just fine, as this is the guy i bought mine from on ebay, as i thought i needed them, but my idle issues was a loose sparkplug, anyway i have listed my ford motorcraft coils on ebay as there was nothing wrong with them , but again the coils i got from the same guy, came fast and work perfectly.....very good buy on them ....

 

[Funmart6]

Wow, how much ya want for 'em?

 

[turbot4]

i already sold them on ebay, all of my motorcraft coils and plugs sold for 89.00 dollars...i had a buy now of 180, but nobody bit...lol...

anyway somebody got a good deal, maybe it was somebody from the forums..

I just replaced my coils with the $224 set...took care of the problem. Dealer told me my #3 coil was bad, so i just replaced all 8. Price they wanted to replace one about gave me a heart attack.

 

[JCTaz]

Anyone interested in a set of Motorcraft coils??? I replaced all 8, dealer said #3 was bad. They have 77,000 miles on them....

 

[turbot4]

gotta donate in order to sell, this forum is kinda frowns on this.....i know from experiance!!!!

 

[SHOZ123]

Used V8 coils are like used condoms..... You don't know if they are good unless they are bad ....

 

[Funmart6]

Anyone interested in a set of Motorcraft coils??? I replaced all 8, dealer said #3 was bad. They have 77,000 miles on them....

So basically ya might have 7 potentially good coils then?

Ummm..... Pass.

I wish we could pay $20/year to become something like "elite" members, with free classified ads included. No pay, no elite- can't use avatars, no emergency forum use, and no free ads.
