Hu zuma314,
The price of the car charger, on the Garmin website, for the StreetPilot c550 is $28.00 plus whatever they charge for shipping & handling.

I looked at pricegrabber.com:

and their search engine came up with the following results:

Car Charger
I would recomend Amazon.com
Alan-Garmin c340
ebay beware
I was going to suggest ebay, but I am not too sure now. They recommend many that will work to charge the unit, but they will not allow you to use it at the same time. This is because many of them will charge the unit through the side USB port. Secondly, it looks like some of the ones that will charge the unit through the back (the way you want it to be charged so you can use it at the same time) do not have a traffic receiver in them. If you don't care about the traffic receiver, search this item number: 110316250800. I have never had to purchase one of these before, but it is probably what I would do since I don't use the traffic receiver. Is your old one broke or lost or something?

Gilsson has cables
http://gilsson.stores.yahoo.net/cables.html has cables for all sorts of GPS units. I bought a 12V power/serial cable for my ancient Garmin GPS 45 and USB/serial cable to connect that to a newer PC.
GHS-12V is the Street Pilot/nuvi cradle cable for $19.95, or nuvi compatible mini-USB vehicle cable GUSB5V is $18.95. But total shipping for the 2 cables I got was $6.95 so whether that is worth it depends whether you need anything else they have.

Car DC Power Adapter / Charger / Cord for Garmin C580 C550 C530
This plugs directly into your GPS USB port, not into the mount.
$14.69 + S&H
