I've had good luck on EBay with aftermarket manufacturers. Figure around $100 for one of these vs around $300 for an OEM starter.

I had mine rebuilt at a local shop that specializes in mostly automotive starters and alternators. It cost me far less than a replacement and has been working fine for several years now.
