Unless you're in a big rush, RockAuto carries Denso rebuilt alternators with a good history of reliability. Otherwise I'd have your current one rebuilt at an automotive electrical shop if there's one locally. Or roll the dice with a parts store rebuild...I've had good outcomes with NAPA alternators in other vehicles.

NAPA also sells the reman. Denso alternators, they're about $20 higher than Rockauto but after shipping it could be almost the same.
If you get a Denso from NAPA you may want to call first to see if they have one in stock, if they don't they usually can get it there within 24 hrs or less.
That being said the Denso only has a 12 months warranty but the NAPA Power Plus Alternator has a Limited Lifetime warranty and is $32 less than the Denso.
