Re: 2000 Elantra not starting
** BATTERY NEW **
Started no problem a week ago AFTER I posted this??? WIERD.
Week later - Got home after it sat NOT being charged and it STARTED
THREE TIMES consecutively w/o any problem @ all!
is this how a solenoid goes? Or a starter?
It's more of an a lighter clicking sound, not the heavy clicking
I've got a few price quotes on replacing the starter - looking like
$250 for parts and labor...is that about right?

It's quite possible, but as Hyundaitech said, it may just be bad power
or ground connections. Have you checked them?

That doesn't sound unreasonable, but you can buy a rebuilt starter for
~$125 and install it yourself in around an hour. It's not a complicated job.

Re: 2000 Elantra not starting
is this one okay? Or should I stay away from ebay rebuilt starters?

I couldn't say what the quality is, but I'd feel more comfortable buying
electrical parts locally, where they can be easily exchanged. Also,
local rebuilders will take your old starter (referred to as a "core")
and rebuild it. I'm fortunate to have a high-quality rebuilder a few
miles from home. Check around and perhaps you'll find one, too. If
you're anywhere near Merrimack, NH I highly recommend Auto Electric
Warehouse (http://www.autoelectric.com/). I've bought several
alternators and starters from them over the years and they've always
lasted longer than the original parts did.
