Merry Christmas to you all!

If you're reading this today, then thanks for taking your holiday to respond - I appreciate it.

My mechanic is telling me that my ignition coil is going south on the 850 and has been doing so for at least a few months. He says there are "flash marks" or some kind of electrical arc on the ignition coil which is a sign that it needs replacing. I do notice the car has a hard start with a strong shudder, but it's always done that, and all 850's to my knowledge are a little shakey when starting and idling. This part is approx 160 dollars from the dealer - seems high for a part like this.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or ever replaced this part? Again - any and all comments are appreciated, I'm in the dark as usual.
