Get a (Bosch or Bosch Authorized) rebuilt.

I went through the same thing - searching by the OEM part number. As 
best as I could tell, the new cars get the new alts and replacements are

rebuilder) so I considered it as good as new.  The part number is 
different for the rebuilds but the alt is the same.
