the starter in my LS400 died today (yes i checked everything, battery is good, starter is clicking rapidly with no crank), and i know replacing the starter in the LS is hard to do, well not hard, but a pain...6hrs labor i've seen quoted..

anyway i'm looking to get a price of no more than $300-320 total as i'm in between jobs at the moment but need this car to get around (sold old car and put in savings)

gonna be difficult as that starter is going to run you $240.30 from park place lexus... no one is going to do it for $80

did it myself and i wouldnt do it for anyone else for anything less than $150-200

here is the starter, you can pick one up from park place in plano

well i could see spending $400 total if that's what it took

turbosix

are you mechanically inclined at all? you can do it in a day, it would be pretty tiring, but doable

litesoarer

well i found a guy to do it for $120, starter was $130 at oreilly's

turbosix

good luck

litesoarer

well, car is back up and running, and now starts up the second i turn the key
