Typically the alternator is killed by a power steering leak on the SC400. Inspect the area for leaks, if you do replace the alternator, you want to make sure that the leak is taken care of, otherwise the leak will cause the new alternator to go bad again.

Love the title, feel that sometimes you need something different to get noticed.

Alternator is the best bet. Find one at a junk yard if you're strapped for cash. If the car runs better, then make the investment for a brand new one. Shouldn't run you more than $100.
