the car is pretty much stock... not really into racing or anything, I dont really like aftermarket looks, but i love clear corners and having everything matched. I got the car for the great gas miliage two years ago, unfortunately my left knee just cant take the clutch anymore(2 knee surguries)... but im anal retentive about keeping my cars nice and in perfect shape...i hope to use the money i sell it for as a DP on a 98 nissan Maxima SE... auto of course. IF you want to see anymore pics or info just go here:My Website for my car

Thanks a lot for checking on that for me... I called autozone today and they said it would be $105 for a core charge with lifetime warranty...then at class today someone told me that they thought pep boys sold rebuilt ones for $45 ... now i want to do this right, but i dont want to spend a crap load of money on a car il be selling soon, at least im glad that if something bad was going to happen with the car at least it happened with me and not the new owner... i would have felt really bad. Oh, are there any websites that show how the heck i take that thing out of my car? (alternator)

just visited ur website, very nice car, u kept it in great condition inside and out, good luck selling it and sorry to hear about the surgeries hope everything will turn out ok, the maxima is a very nice car, my gf has the altima which has a little less style and hp but is still a very nice car, very reliable as well as has a good pick up to it when u step on the pedal, as well as its still decent with its economical fuel consumption. good choice of cars

its pretty easy to get the alternator off the engine, u simply release the screw that puts the tension on the belt and makes it so ur alternator can pivot back and forth and then remove the other bolt that connects it to the alternator mounting backet that it is mounted on, screw off the wires holding it on, and then u are faced with the hardest part, once its removed from the engine it is very difficult to get out of the engine bay, there are many other posts on all the weird ways we have gotten ours out b4, everything from removing the bracket and removing it from the bottom of the car. to pulling it out the drivers side tirewell, to removing the drivers side motor mount and pushing the motor up a little on a jack to provide just enough room to pull it out the top.
