It should be the old one but being rebuilt. For alternator, I feel that those hard part (iron) is old one, and inside wire has been re-wired. So in this sense, the rebuilt one should function the same as the new one. However, my old car has alternator problem and I got it replaced with the rebuilt one in Canada tire and after two years, it died again. I don't know if it's my car has some internal problem such as short circuit or it's the quality of the rebuilt alternator. If I have known this before, I would have gone for a new one maybe.
BTW, the total charge of my car on alternator was around C$400 icnluidng labor, maybe you are talking parts only here for around C$200.
