Brand new name brand alternators tend to be very expensive - they are model (and year) specific; a stocking Bosch distributor would need a huge inventory of high priced, low turnover parts. A quality rebuild would have the same expected longevity as a brand new one for much less money. Very, very rarely would you find a burned coil or cracked case, and these are probably the most expensive parts of the unit. The parts that do fail: diodes, bearings, and brushes; a reputable rebuilding firm replaces all of those with OE spec replacements.
