Alternator dead.. where to buy replacement?

[Cebu]

Paul,

I didn't realize there was an O'Reilly's right down the street from me! I'm guessing I'll bring mine in have it checked and ask for a replacement model. My Boxster year is 2002, 5 speed. Hopefully they will have a drop in replacement with better or matching specs.

Thanks for the link!

Just thought I would post a site that I have bought from (New not re-manufactured)

In my case I bought a starter and have had no issues, fast shipping and good prices.

These are surely Far East knockoffs, as price is less than for Bosch rebuilt.

To each his own.

The company that sells them on that site is located in Atlanta, Ga. and I am sure the manufacture is in China, you do know that the majority of Bosh auto parts are manufactured in both China and Tunisia and only assembled in North Carolina (for sales in US).
