Alternator help

Hey I got a 1994 ford aspire. Alternator went and where I'm from i cant find one without ordering one for $300+. Would any other cars bolt up or anything? Thanks for any help.

Do you have a NAPA Auto Parts store near you? If so, you can get a remanufactured alternator from them for $114, or possibly even less for the model they sell in-store only. Even if you don't have a store locally, you can order from them over the internet. There are others you can order from too, perhaps RockAuto.com or O'Reilly Auto Parts, but I only searched the NAPA database right at the moment, so there may be cheaper alternatives. 114 bones still isn't exactly chump change, but it's better than 300. Hope this helps.

You could also have yours rebuilt. Most towns have somebody that rewinds starter motors and rebuilds alternators. My experience is, that local shops do a much better job than the major re builders that supply the auto parts stores and are usually cheaper. Just a thought.

yeah find a local auto-elec/mechanics and get them to rebuild it, Where I work does it ourselves (small independent) and we even get a local BMW place getting their starters and alternators done here

try the junk yard.

In my opinion Alternators are not a normal failure item on eggs. they ususally last the life of the car. Zigg is at 250k and his is fine. same for my other high mile eggs & festivas

soo what your saying is what? it starts and runs then lights go dim and dies eventually haha

Ok I got it running good. Im thinking about selling it, I am from canada.
