I just looked at www.oreillyauto.com and found that for the 4 cylinder engine the alternator is $139.99 and for the V6 it is $169.99.
The exact cost to fix an engine cylinder misfire on a 2000 Mercury Mystique will depend on the exact type of engine it has, but can cost around $1,000.
1588.97
4cyl sets you back about 175 including deposit return from the old one. This is part only, and the alternator is kind of a pain to get to because you have to remove one of the motor mounts to get to it. If you take it to a garage expect to pay at least 3 hours of their labor cost in addition to the cost of the part.
Depending on which engine you have, an alternator could range from $140-195 (USD) at Autozone.com.
Don't have an exact figure but judging from similar Ford models, expect the cost to be quite expensive
An average tune up ( everybody has something different) for that vehicle should be around $80
I just paid $500.00 to replace all brake pads and the front rotors
Not much-half an hr plus starter (45.00 approx) This is easy enough to do yourself. Most are 2 bolts.
Call your local parts store.
Remove the old ones and out in new ones. I would suggest you invest in a repair manual. It cost around $12 at most auto parts stores, and will contain the info you need to complete this repair and many others. It will pay for itself with this one repair
Call you local parts store. Also call a rebuild shop. It cost me about
Congratulations on deciding to trade in your car for a luxury vehicle. A small luxury car that is decently priced are the Ford 350's and the Mercury Mystique.
