Thats not that bad a price. Its so bad on an XG350 that a lot of the time
it makes sense to go ahead and have the timing belt done at the same time as
much of the required labor is the same. I did anternators on both my
XG350's and its a pain!!! Not to mention, the alternators are around $200
to begin with (this is for a rebuilt).

By the way, on the XG350 the brake light and battery light are wired
togeather so they both go on when the alternator fails. I have no idea why
they did this, but I suspect your Accent is the same.
