The problem is that when you find them in stores, the packaging is beat or you have to settle for some flaw. The current alternators were prone to shelf damage from careless stocking and rough handling. The new bubble package looks even less sturdy.
As fun as it is to drive around hunting for these, it gets tiring. I figure why waste my time? Just get her done in one shot in collector's grade. No worries.
Even though I will pay a bit more pre-ordering, I figure I will end up even once I factor in time and fuel saved by not having to drive all over hunting them down.
