Wow, Holy Schnickeys, Mecham has them for like $500 and $90 more if I wanted chrome. Still, quite expensive. Although not as expensive as if you don't do it yourself. The first time mine broke, I got totally screwed, I was stranded in Maryland and had no choice, but to let some highway robbery go on. I believe it cost me $680 for the alternator and harness. They were gonna charge me another $90 for a distributor cap. I told them to shove it, it is a $9 part at the most and is held on by two screws. I hardly see 1.5 hours of labor there. The alternator is at most a 15 minute job (and that is 8 minutes of searching for the right tools), I did it myself after that. The harness is maybe a $100 part from the stealership. So I don't see that job coming to almost $700 dollars. What a rip-off. I stopped trusting mechanics a short while ago, when I decided that it was much better to do it myself in the long run. Anyway, I have a wholesale account at the stealership, so if you are fed up with Courtesy, I can match or probably beat their prices on OEM parts and definitely won't rip you off on shipping.
