did i get a good deal?
so i just got my GS400 about a month ago and the alternator took a crap on me. had to end up paying $200 for a new one and after reading how much of a pain it is to change, i called the nearest toyota dealer( the nearest lexus one is over 50miles away) and they only charged me a flat rate of $150. dropped it off at 1 and wont get it back till tomorrow because the harness was giving the tech problems. which makes me glad i took it in instead of doing to my self. so was $150 a good deal for a dealer to install it for me?

I think you got a great deal.
There comes a point when it's easier to pay a "pro" to do it then trying to attempt it yourself.
1. Having the right tools
2. Having the time (time = money right?)
3. Being able to endure the sweat/grease/etc and any problems that might arise.
You did fine

Most of the time when the alternator stops charging all it needs is a new set of $20. brushes and an extra 5 minutes to replace them.
