Remanufactured Denso starters

Has anyone had experience with these? Looking at ordering one for the 1UZ since the price ($92 shipped) is pretty darned good compared to the $200+tax being offered locally.

Can't go wrong with Denso, even if it's re-manufactured.

What's wrong with your current starter? If it's just the brush going out, then you can replace them for $30 in parts.

Since there is no core charge, I figure to buy the newly remanufactured one for added insurance and rebuild the old one and sell it to get all my money back.

remanufactured starter

Don't do it ! purchased a reman starter and 3 months later it went down. I could not return it because I had stock piled parts during the fall and had them installed during the spring. The problem is the starters are in a bad spot and since I didn't install it myself I had to pay my mechanic for the labor 2x. Good thing he felt bad and installed it for 1/3 of the cost. Just my .02

Good luck,

re manufactured parts are only as good as the people doing the work on them...denso or not. Personally when I replace a dead part with a re manufactured one I make sure it has a warranty.
