I have experienced changing alternator for several cars like on an Alfa 155 Twin Spark, it last less than 2 months. Had to change it again and fortunately it was under warranty. Most of the chop shop will give about 1 or max 2 month warranty for 2nd hand alternator. My personal preference is, if you can afford it, change to a new one especially for cars with additional electrical gadgets like HID and ICE. I changed my e46 alternator last year... changed brand new coz I was quoted rm2.5k for a 2nd hand with 1 month warranty...can not take that risk. If had to buy another 2nd hand after 1 month, might as well buy a new one la.planta</blockquote>
