My v6 03 avalon xls alternator replacement, parts and all was under $300
From my experience with replacing Honda alternators, I always go OEM.
You need one specifically made for your vehicle, but you can shop around on different sites, for different brands to find one that meets your budget. I prefer ones from the OEM (ie Honda), Bosch, or Denso.
I had to do my alternator a year or so ago in my 07. Considering I got like 240k miles and ten years off the original I went ahead and replaced it with a Toyota OEM one.
Between the two that I've owned, I have way over 250k miles in 'em and they are awesome vehicles. Maintenance has been very reasonable although we just had to put a new alternator in the one we have now.
I just had a new alternator put in 2 months ago (3k miles ago) at a different shop. Could all this be caused by a bad alternator?
