So whenever I start my 02 mini Cooper s. I get no charging voltage to my battery whatsoever. So I'm plannig on buying a new alternator. And I was wondering witch one to buy. I'm really trying not to spend over 120. (I know I'm a cheapskate. But I don't have much money at the moment) any help is appreciated and thanked. I've already found a few I've got in mind.

 

Start searching for a used one at a junkyard or your local craigslist or here in the marketplace at your pricepoint. You won't find a rebuilt/remanufactured or a new one for $120.00.

Double check to see if the serpentine belt is still good otherwise, budget for a new belt too.

 

Alright thanks man!

 

Well, the first one on Amazon, via a 5 second Google search, is $114 shipped.

 

True, definitely an option. How much do you want to gamble on how long it will last?
