Picked up a rebuild from NPD today for $50 (I feel bad not giving the business to the guy that helped, but he wanted $130 for a rebuild). I'll try it this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. Guess that wasn't so short.
Swapping your starters and alternators for rebuilt ones is the oldest car parts rip-off going. Each component within these units that fail cost very little. Align yourself with a guy that actually rebuilds these things. Cheaper and a better end product.
IMO, $50 for a starter is very low ... sounds like Tia-won.
Get yours rebuilt by the guy that helped you out and it should not cost anymore than the new "T" part.
