Hi Clueless,
Most auto electrical shops can test it out for you and give you a recommendation , while it's on the car.

Depending on where you buy - can cost $300 - 1000 for a new alternator, probably $200 - 300 for fitting. It is fairly straight forward to do it yourself if you are handy with the tools. I replaced mine after it started playing up at the 150K mark. It might even been practical to repair your original alternator.
