PPI charged you 500.00 for a Lestek alternator???????

I have to check, I know it was expensive. I will find the reciept and repost price, but I know it was expensive. I will sell it for what I paid for it.

Correction, the alternator was $400 and the new regulator was $20. I just would like to get what I paid for it.

What kind of regulator did you get?

$400 is pretty expensive. I know that they are rare, but that's pretty high. Is it one of the original Lesteks with the Ford part number on it?

I believe it is. And I thought the price was a little steep also, but I do have the receipt showing what I paid for it. It was purchased back in June.

Depends on what your definition of reasonable is....

Jerry,

I believe that you paid that for it...but it's sad they were sold for that much

It's been a while since I inquired about one of these for a customer of mine but if he didn't return a core then there would be a $100 core charge on that alternator...I think they were $399 when listed plus $100 core. If he didn't return a core then he got a deal at $400 because they didn't charge him a core charge. At the time I checked into them they were also checked and tested by an authorized Lestek repair facility and had a 12 month warranty.

These aren't the easiest things to find if needed especially since Lestek from what I understand is out of business. I personally am not a purist and neither was my customer so he opted for a PA Performance 3G alternator upgrade as it was less expensive. But for the purist or concours show car then you've got to have what came on the car you've got to pay the price for the correct part. Just be thankful it's not an original carb for a Boss 429 or a fender for a '69 Cyclone Spoiler II!!!

Theoretically if somebody has the CORRECT Lestek alternator that is NOS with the CORRECT part number for my SSP mustang, and will provide the part number prior to purchase for me to validate, and will send me a picture of said alternator with visible part number I will pay 400.00 for it. However.....if it is rebuilt, or used, or needs inspected or rebuilt, or needs to be sent out to be put on a C-N-C machine to be machined to fit, or doesn't have the correct part number on it, or the part number is ground off, or there is no part number.......... then 400.00 is about 350.00 to much IMHO.

I talked to Jerry earlier today about it. He is going to check the part number and other info for me when he gets in tonight. he is not 100 percent sure what he has yet. We are working on figuring it out. I hope he has the correct part since he paid big money.

I will never own a Boss 429 due to the GGG thugabillies ripping people off on parts. That reminds me.....I have a set of NOS 86 steel wheels and center caps for sale. I want 3500.00 for the entire set. (just joking but you get my drift right??)
