Default Almost $650 for a alternator

My alternator needs replacement, so I call up Honda windward and they tell me it cost almost $650 . I thought I owned a Honda not a Mercedes. I found one from Majestic Honda for about 370 shipped, I believe it is rebuilt, not a big deal to me. I was going to rebuild the one I have but I don't really have time right now, and I already replace the brush and regulator in it so I think the problem is deeper and possibly a waste of time to chase.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place on Island that might be a better deal. I was considdering getting one from Checkers, I believe the ones they sell are rebuilt Denso units, they retail for around 350. Any help would be appreciated.

I asked smitty but he said he was going to keep it with the motor, maybe I will check with Taka.

Good thing is I am in no hurry to replace it,I hope a good deal come my way.

Thanks guys.
