Yes, it is an expensive part. Actually, 149.00 is good price -- although that is an aftermarket switch which may or may not be as good. I paid around $200 for an oem GM switch because I figured if I was going to do all of that labor, I want to install the highest quality part possible. Anytime a job (1)involves a lot of labor, (2) involves the ignition system, or (3) is a critical safety-issue-type of part, I buy the original GM parts. For everything else, I go to Autozone.
