* Brand: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) alternators from Nissan will be the most expensive. Aftermarket brands offer a range of prices and qualities. Reputable brands like Denso, Bosch, and ACDelco are generally considered good choices.
* Location: Prices can vary from store to store and region to region.
* Purchase Location: Buying online (Amazon, etc.) is often cheaper than buying from a local auto parts store.
* Where you get it installed: If you have a shop install it, labor costs will significantly increase the overall price.
Expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 or more. The lower end is likely for an aftermarket alternator purchased online, while the higher end reflects a more premium brand or purchase from a local parts store. Remember to factor in installation costs if you aren't doing it yourself.
To get a precise price, I recommend:
1. Checking online retailers: Search for "2000 Nissan Sentra alternator" on Amazon, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.
2. Contacting local auto parts stores: Call your local auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, etc.) and give them your vehicle's year, make, and model. They can give you a price quote.
Remember to always verify the alternator's specifications (amps) match your vehicle's requirements before purchasing.
