New Muffler and Alternator

Hey Guys,

this is my first Post on the Forum so please excuse me if im not using the right Thread or Etiquette.

I'm currently on the edge of buying a 1998 16v 1.8l as my first car. The Car needs a new alternator as the old one is broken an a new rear muffler as that is rusted to oblivion. The rest of the Car is in mint condition though so im thinking about buying. Now to my Question. Where do i get these Parts and are there Brands that are better than others? Also would it even make sense to buy them pricewise?

Thanks for all answers!!

I can't answer on the exhaust side, but there must be someone who can refurbish the alternator for you without having a buy a new one, or is it properly broken?

Try Autodoc for the alternator. They have a lot of parts for the coupe and they have a German website. I use them a lot.
Not sure about the muffler though. Sorry.

The 1.8 engine came in quite a few different cars (more than the 20valve anyway). You might have to do some cut and shut but I'd think you'd be able to make use of parts from a 1st gen Bravo, Brava or Marea
