Looking around on line the alternator is between $200 and 450, and I am sure
a Volvo part will be even more.
A battery is a good C or so...550 at least in parts, and I bet Volvo shops
are around a C an hour, so its no deal, but hey it should be a good part. I
would ask if it was common for an alternator to fail so soon!
