I just checked the price and it was $96.99, because I didn't give them the old one, that included a $10 core charge. It shipped out of a company in MI. I still have the box it came in, but it's buried in my storage shed someplace.
Supposedly, they can get the solenoid for around $30, but I'm not ready to buy one now.

Thanks, that's an excellent price.

Old thread but FYI one failed on me. They warrantied it and the replacement failed as well.

Well Glenn, I'm glad I kept the OEM starter rather than take the $10 off for the core charge. The replacement bit the dust after 38K miles. So rather than wait for a few days for another one, even though it had a lifetime warranty, I went to NASA Automotive in Glendale and had a new solenoid put on my old OEM starter. $42 and 15 minutes later, I was out the door.

Now, I'll take the replacement to O'Reilly's to get another under warranty and park it on the shelf.
Then I get to be the West side emergency starter supplier.
