Not to try to take business away from the vendors, BUT if you found someone
who actually rebuilt starters, they might have some, or a "good used" one.
I've run into the same mindset with alternators for trucks that (possibly)
just needed something minor..."buy one already rebuilt-it'll cost the same".
