Buy an alternator from Mykiss or anybody else parting out their car and do the labor yourself. It took me most of an afternoon, but if I had to do it again, I could do it in about 2 hours. I had to jack the car up to get to the side panel in the drivers fender, and then I had to figure out the jacking screw mechanism on the tensioner pulley. I took my time and never took out the radiator, just had to move the AC coolant hard line up and out of the way.
Oh, and if you do it yourself, dont forget to remove the negative battery terminal or you can get zapped pretty easy while taking off the positive charge cable off of the alternator.
