Price comparison for volt. regulator:

Thought I'd give the dealer 2 miles from here a crack at it - $96 & 2 or 3 business days.

$35 at BAP GEON (import parts retailer) available this p.m. 10 miles from here.

Available for $30 - $35 on line (3 to 5 days)

I'm surprised the "Auto Zone" types here didn't have it - seems common enough; simple 80 amp Bosch alt that is/was probably used in a a bunch of cars...
