Is their a site that I can buy from or is anyone selling a used one? Need a belt too. Dealer is wanting 1800. Thanks.

 

Rock Auto will have them, you should just call and make sure you get the right part though. My SRT was in need of a 6-rib and the only sent me a 4-rib alternator on the first try.

 

Wouldn't an slk320 alternator work? 2002 Mercedes Benz SLK320 Alternator - Autoline

 

Do u guys know if the pulley or belt is a Bosh or Valeo? Thanks.

 

Looks like the local Autozone and Advance Auto parts stores both have them for $189.00.

 

Just look on the alternator to see which brand yours is... my SRT6 has the Valeo alternator... the belt is an 8 rib.... Gates K081145 is the factory size...

 

Thanks Mike. I ended up getting everything figured out. I went through Rock Auto very friendly and they even will buy the old alternator for $90, but wont be here until Wed. Cost $400 total with shipping 2 day. Way better then the 1700 the dealer was quoting me. Im going to call autozone and see if they have any in stock though.

 

$400 for an ALTERNATOR? It's just a damn 12 volt (what - 120 amp?) alternator.

Asinine - I could see $200 since it IS a sports car, and yea, it's better than what you quoted in your OP - but still, this is nuts.

 

With the $90 buy back the alternator is 191. Shipping was $72. Im just going to go through autozone to save the hassle.

 

The link I provided is $146 with free shipping, but even if it is a bit more, I would go with AutoZone for the convenience.

 

$191 sounds ok, but $72 shipping?

WHY?
