don't be so quick blaming the starter you need to check the starter relay, your neutral safety switch,your ignition switch,your conections. your grounds. starter solenoid. if all that is good then look at the starter. they're pretty simple to replace the hardest part sometimes is getting to it ,but once you there is a piece of cake.(don't forget how the wiring goes)
here is a simple test to determing what or where the problem lies. is called the headlight start test. turn on your headlights,try to start the car(have someone do it) look at the headlights if the go dim you may have high resistance somewhere in the circuit.(bad solenoid ,starter motor) if the headlights stay bright then you have an open in the circuit. which simply means bad neutral safety switch,relay,poor ground.(not the starter)
