alternator help

[MitsuEvo6]

Right, so as proven before, I don't know much bout cars. I love to drive them, and mess with the the apperance, but as for the mechanics..ha. Anyway, my alternator is dead and I was curious if a used one is as good as a new one. I know they power the car and keep the batt charged, so I was wonderin if there's a certain one I should get to power my car and system? Let me know. Thanks

used/rebuilt is as good as new.. plus most from stores like Advance Auto or Napa come with lifetime warranties

yeah and try putting it in yourself, not that hard, and might make you a little more mechanically inclined

i keep breakin the "same" nissan alternator...

since all the nissan alternators have the same interal bits, i guess thats good for me.
