I have a bad alternator on the vehicle listed above that I recently purchased. I can't really afford what a new alternator is going for and I am having difficulty locating a used one locally that came from a 2003. Just curious if there is another model year that would work?

It is hard to say if the part numbers are correct, they will interchange, they have some pretty inexpensive units on Amazon $116.00.

Here is how to change the unit out in the images below with a generic guide to help walk you through the steps:
