The Altenator bearings went out on my car because of a belt tensioner problem. The Altenator would make a loud rumbling noise. It curently has 50,000 miles on it and i bought it used in january 2000 with 15,000 miles on it. After i signed the papers for it i found out it was a rental car and it had been beaten severaly mechanicaly. I know spend an average of $50 a month to fix something on the car. Always ask to see the title of the car before you buy it, even if you buy it from a dealer like i did.
