2003 Saab 9-3SS Alternator costs a small fortune!

If you need an alternator for an 2003 or 2004 9-3SS (automatic), it is going to cost you (in 2015 US dollars) $480 for a new unit; $280 for a remanufactured unit. The Saab part # is 127555484. Alternators for the later model years, 2005 to 2011, are less than half that.
Mine just failed after 11 years and 10 months of faithful service. And when it fails, the ABS/traction control warning goes on first, then the dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, the radio quits, the turn signals quit and then, finally, the motor quits.
Quite fascinating actually - good thing it was near a shop.
