before we all rush to apg.com...
i ordered on may 1, 2007 parts for the 3l 24v motor that were listed in stock on their website. they charged my card the day i ordered for almsot $600 in merchandise, but i still have not received the goods, tracking #, or even an excuse after a full month and a million phone calls.
i have reported them to the better business bureau and hopefully that will get a response from jon sinclair, the head of customer service (whom i have yet to speak with).
i will keep you guys posted.
good luck

update: apg.com responded to the bbb inquiry i made that the goods were shipped and that they were delivered. i called today and spoke with a customer service rep that told me the goods were not shipped and that i would receive a call from jon sinclair (head of cust service).
i received no call this evening, however, i was finally emailed by apg that the parts on their website were actually out of stock (which i believe was the case from the beginning), and they credited me full amount...
so all has been put right, however there are a some things that ruffled my feathers:
the customer service people were not very sympathetic the entire time (read: after sitting on hold listening to maroon 5 everytime i called i was actually hung up on twice!)
it took a full month to receive an explanation for the delay while god only knows apg.com was earning the 5% my money could have been earning in my savings account!
you just might be better off using the brand names and going to the vendor directly.
just my 2 cents, but now after losing a valuable month i will just pay more and get the gasket kit and bearings from iap, and the coil packs and spark plugs from napa.

Update on injectors rebuilt by Python and sold by APG:
I called APG directly and got some guy who could not tell me if the parts were shipped or in stock. Apparently "available" on their website means that someone has them, they just have not found out where they are. When pushed further about a refund, salesguy was not really considering giving anything back and told me that I had to wait until someone turned in old injectors so that I could get the 'new rebuilt' ones..HAHAA..what a load of sheet.
Soooo, I decided to call Python directly. APG is located near Python factory. Sales rep at Python was very nice and told me a set of six injectors for Verde were picked up by APG driver that afternoon...Hey, i'm starting to feel better now, after all, how many rebuilt Verde injectors were going out this week??
Anyway, got email from APG that injectors shipped out from them to me today....we shall see....

Guess what...got the injectors today...came in a box labeled MiQuinta Mexican food.....mailed from Emart in Cali....
Seems like APG (autoparts giant) is a small business with a big internet facade ( I guess anyone can buy the program detailing all the auto parts....)
Anyway, beside the rude salesguy, everything went smoothly
As for Python, I have only heard good things from a few friends using their products. They replaced the pintle, plastic case, hose, and lower seal, and claimed to have replaced , repaired, or left alone, the internals...
Basically, the only old part I can see is the metal housing, and that has been cleaned up and repainted..
Also, these have been flow tested and matched closely per Python

That's a solid price. Does that include any core charge for your old injectors?x-rad wrote:oh yeah, injectors were only 320$ total w/shipping
And do these come with all the seals you need when replacing them or would I have to buy the lower O-ring and/or others? Sorry if that should be obvious....I've never really spent much time with my injectors.

Wow, $250 w/ lower seals is pretty appealing! My cylinder #5 looked like it was running lean (rather white plug vs. the nominal black on others), maybe I'll pick up a balanced set!x-rad wrote:Kept my cores...would have got an additional 70$ off the price
Comes with lower seals too...

Just be aware that you may encounter difficulties with the sales staff of APG and don't expect to get money back or any shipping dates or emails...
That being said, APG was the only place witht the best price...about 30$ cheaper per injector than the next best!
They also sell other brands but I feel that for the money, Python was a good buy....
