My car keeps dying and won't restart until I charge the battery again. Then, when I drive during the day there are no problems. When I drive at night using the headlights it will die within a short period of time. I have changed the alternator and had the battery checked and still no solution! Is this a common problem for this car? How do I fix? Will it be inexpensive?

First with the car not running check the batt voltage should be 12.5 or higher. You need a voltmeter (very cheap at Harbor Freight Tools store) second start car and check voltage at the batt connection on the alternator. it should be 14.5 or higher. Now check the voltage at the battery with the car running, the battery should be receiving the 14.5 or better that the alternator is putting out. If battery is not receiving the Alternator output . you have a short in the wiring from the alternator to the battery which usually goes through the starter, The Postive battery cable connects directly to the srtarter and so does the charging wire from the Alternator. See the answer i gave to the 1969 buick.

Travis,

Thsi way you will keep paying me $10 everytime your battery goes dead. Please have your car alternator checked and repaired as it is not charging the battery because of which the battery runs low and the cars stops. Gas cars need a battery to run on, unlike diesel ones that need battery only to start. They can also be push started if the battery is dead. petrol card cant run without the battery. So, the answer lies in driving to the electrician and getting the alternator repaired.
