About double what Rusty charges for the alternator.
Either find another mechanic or rustle up several different sources for the
alt, print 'em and take 'em in with you, preferably when he's busy.
Tell him you don't mind taking it in the behind but you'd like him to lube you
up first.

How does this sound to y'all?
About $750 dollars to replace the alternator, and the tensioner pulley
and its shock.
and about $160 to replace the thermostat.
The alternator the guy wants to sell me is some $350.
He won't accept outside parts.
Is this price what I should expect?
Anybody want to buy an 87 190D?
