This number will be high, find someone who charges much less to install it.

You can find people who can install it on Craigslist.

1. Make sure that it is the starter! (this is a common area of mis-diagnosis)

2.Interview people to find the best person to install it (How long will it take? How much will it cost??Do they have their own tools? Do they provide any type of warranty?

3.You can also go to auto forums and get good answers.

Dunno. I don't think it is worth replacing
