1. Online Retailers with International Shipping: Websites like:
* eBay: Search specifically for "Chevy Cavalier 2.8L coil pack" and filter by sellers who ship internationally to South Africa. Carefully check shipping costs – they can be substantial.
* Amazon: Similar to eBay, check for international shipping options. Again, shipping costs are a major consideration.
* RockAuto: This US-based retailer sometimes ships internationally, but you'll need to check their shipping options and costs for South Africa.
2. South African Auto Parts Suppliers: Search online for "auto parts" or "car spares" in South Africa. Some larger suppliers might stock parts for older American vehicles, or at least be able to source them. Contact them directly to check availability.
3. Local Auto Wreckers (Junkyards): Contact auto wreckers in your area. They may have a used coil pack from a similar-year Cavalier. This is a cheaper option, but the used part might not last as long.
4. Specialist Importers: Some businesses specialize in importing car parts. Search online for "American car parts importers South Africa" to find potential suppliers.
Important Considerations:
* Part Number: Finding the exact part number for your 1989 Chevy Cavalier 2.8L coil pack will greatly improve your search results. Consult your owner's manual or a reputable online parts catalog (like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts' websites, even if you can't buy directly from them) to find the correct part number.
* Shipping Costs: International shipping can be expensive, so factor this into your budget.
* Customs Duties and Taxes: Be prepared for potential customs duties and taxes upon arrival in South Africa. These can add significantly to the overall cost.
* Compatibility: While a replacement coil pack might be listed as fitting a similar year and engine, double-check compatibility before purchasing.
Starting with online searches using the part number and contacting South African suppliers directly is the most efficient way to begin your search. Remember to always compare prices and shipping costs before making a purchase.
