That price seems to be what I'm finding on batteries as well.
As for the alternator....You can get one from a local junkyard, I'd recommend replacing the voltage regulator or at least inspecting it before installing the alternator. Alternatively the m103 can fit a larger more powerful alternator. Its a 143amp unit that was in the 90's v8 S-Class...I believe the number AL0162X..which is around $170 from places like Advanced Auto..comes with lifetime warranty...
