[[JUDGE]]

Hey guy im vuying new alternator tommorrow and i got a few quotes that seemed way more then i expected, i asked holdens they said over $200, i asked sprints they said $180..i was told itd be below $100 so when i herd this i was shocked!

[immortality]

i pay'd $220 or $240 i think for mine (new)but thats here in nz so i'd expect it to be a little cheaper over there

[[JUDGE]]

geez didnt think itd be that much tho has anyoen else gotten one cheaper??

I replaced the regulator only for around the 50 dollar mark. So didnt need a new one

[Boonz]

a genuine one is roughly $240..... your paying for warranty aswell when you buy genuine

[str8up]

one from the wreckers would only be about 50 bucks or less? Its not that common for them to play up so i reckon its worth the risk buying one used for the money you would save...

[greenfoam]

You might not need the whole thing if just the regulator and brushes part at the back is worn that's a 50-60 dollar trick

[SweetWagon]

yeh like others have said, just get it reconditioned for about $50 ,unless its truly rooted

get one from a wreckers, look for one thats clean and also try to find one with a sticker on top which will tell you how old it is only cost you $25 then.
