Bought my 540 last november with 102k on the clock, super clean. Dealer I bought it from replaced the alternator when he took it in on trade (not a cheap date by any means) and all was well. I buy the car, and 7k miles later I have to do rear upper control arms. Fine, done, $538 later I left the shop with it just two days ago. Now, today I get in to move it and get my mustang out and bam, I'm staring at a big red battery light and the car is reading 10.8 volts on the radar detector. Great, alternator is shot, called the guy I bought it from and he said to call him monday if the alt he put in (new btw) has a warranty, I will be happy and he will be getting dirty, if not, I'm gonna be one pissed off mother @%^&er!!!
