Help!

Okay, my alternator is dead. So I pulled it out of the car (Quite a pain actually) and called around since the dealership was gonna charge me $600 to fix this problem. Well, turns out that no one carries it. I need to get it from the dealership, which means I have to wait til Monday and they are probably gonna charge me an arm and a leg. So, Does anyone have any ideas? Like a hookup on factory parts or anything??? Let me know pleezzzeeee. Thanks !

Just an FYI on the alternator situation. $330. Thats what honda is going to charge me for the part alone. And they can't test my old alternator to make sure that is definately what is wrong (I'm doing the work myself). So I'm basically doing this on an educated guess. This really hurts my opinion of this company...

Yup, I almost had to do the same thing and did find nobody, but Honda carried them even though our cars have been around for awhile. Luckily, it wasn't my alternator, but it would be nice if someone at least carried a bigger alternator for our cars, oh well maybe when the 8thgens come out.

Hey thanks man... but alas, I had to get my car running ASAP and shelled out the 350(after taxes) for the new one. I appreciate the gesture though.
