Damn, after reading some replies about my problem noticed a starter goes for $144. By the way do I need a 1.2 Kw or 1.4Kw starter? Seems like the Bosch ones comes with a solenoid for $142->$159 and its an additional $50-$55 if you don't send in the old one.

I'd repair the old one. probably just needs some brushes and a little sandpaper on the armature, maybe some new bushings...or a new set of contacts in the solenoid. all very easy to do and MUCH cheaper, also usually more reliable than the rebuilt junk they sell you now. having worked in a parts store in the past, I'd say fully half the starters sold weren't needed, something else wrong like a bad connection or weak battery. most of the rest just needed an inexpensive part like contacts in the solenoid or new brushes.
