Why So cheap.....and others so expensive??

[cj407]

Now I know the saying "you get what you pay for" but in this case it just seems like price slipping.

Car 90 Honda CRX Si

Alternator needed

Companies and prices on alts with 180 amp max 80-85 idle

Ohio Gen. - 495 + shipping

Mechman - 375 + shipping (also 200/125 is 449)

Iraggi - 240 shipped.

So now can someone explain why Dom has his priced so much cheaper than the competitors or is it lack of warranty and customer service that makes his so cheap?

Why would you get one that only puts out 85 at idle anyhow? thats no better than stock. But about the altys id get a mechman, ive read nothing but good things about them.

Actually the stock alt is rated at 60a max //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

this answers your question..because someone out there will pay it no matter what it costs

at idle my current alt probably only puts out 30 amp....its a 60amp alt oem. remember honda didnt need too many amps seeing as they are such a small car.

oh ok. I figured itd be atleast like a 80 amp or something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I wouldnt pay 300 for an alt though. I say go to autozone and get something and make it fit for
