the alternator on my '97 900SE bit the dust this week at 44 kmiles.
At the dealer, I was quoted $1006 Cdn for the alternator alone
and 3 hours of labor to install it and they could only spend time
on it this upcoming Tuesday. Add 15% taxes and you've got a crazy bill
for a car that isn't quite worth a lot.
I said no, towed it to an independent. Sourced a used alternator with
its pulley attached for a grand total of $90+tx. The indy gave the alternator a thumbs up and charges 1&1/2 hour to put it all together. It'll be done on Monday. Couldn't be any happier.
