It should be about $200-250 for the alternator and a half hour of shop labor. These are so easy to change you could do it yourself.
And there is no alternator in the world that can last as long as a 740. These cars can last 500,000+ miles, enough to completely wear away the brushes on any alternator.

There is little white thing in the back of Bosch alternator called "Voltage regulator" You go to auto shop and pick it up around $50. You undo the two small screws, take out the old one and install the new voltage regulator. It takes 15 minutes.
Bosch alternator should last the life of the car as long as you replace the voltage regulator every 100K or so.

while i use bosch new and re-man parts all the time, a now non gm company," REMY"
is re-manufacturing all makes of alternators. this is the surviving half of delco remy after the "delphi" debacle, these units have proven their reliability and wholesale for volvo's around 80-130 us dollars. these are a significant saving over genuine bosch,and have a decent warranty
hope this helps
