Also, its often the voltage regulator portion that dies, which is much cheaper than a complete alternator.

That's my regular mechanic's price. The parts (he's got to put a new Serpentine belt on too) come to about $200 and the rest is labor, tax, ect. And I have a fifty dollar deductible. The warranty people are gonna pay approxomately $350.
Should I just wait for it to break the next time after that, and the time after that to arrive to my conclusion?
