Which brand starter?
I'm outfitting my middle aged '02 Taurus with a new starter and need some advice on what brand starter to get. I'm tempted to get this reman Motorcraft, the fourth one down in the orange remanufactured section..
CLICK HERE
For $123 that seems reasonable for a OE reman. If not this one I'll probably be going for a reman of another brand so why not go OE?
The other reman options I'm seeing at the car stores are...
Napa brand
Bosch
Denso
Driveworks at Advance
Carquest
Duralast
Valucraft
Ultima
Bestest
Should I go with the Motorcraft or one of these? $123 sounds almost too good although I really don't know.

I'd personally go with the NAPA brand as long as its their brand---they do tend to sell that CarDone crap just to complete with the AutoZone's and Advance Auto cheap prices.
If you can find new that'd be better than anything reman'd---unless you're lucky enough to have an auto electric rebuilder in your area. They can do wonders with good condition OEM starters, alternators etc.
