Andrew also said it seemed hesitant.
Are the cables good?
Are the connections clean?

How do you know that starter is not a reman? Can u trust the miles? How many
240D that you know of have 60K miles?
Buy new. Labor to R/R must be considered if you have to replace in 6 months.
And yes who cares about noisy starters?

I'm leaning toward a used starter off a 60,000 mile 240 D with a 6 month
warranty from PG Auto. Unless someone can personally recommend a good
brand of remann'ed starters.

Are there no places out there anymore that rebuild your starter?
That used to be better than buying rebuilt ones at one time.
I know little about MB starters but the old north american stuff was
pretty straight forward and easy enough to fix.

I'd guess somewhere between where Andrew lives and Balt, there is an auto
electric shop. My guy retired and had an auction of his stuff. I have had
good luck with used since then. If i had to pay for labor, I would
certainly buy one reman by Bosch in a yeller box with red printing.
The only reman I bought was an advanced auto rebuilt alt. maybe 10-12
years ago. It did just fine. they local guys will use quality parts,
where the reman shops will cut corners so long as they return rate does not
get too high. Bosch reman is supposed to be same as new quality, but there
have been problems reported here.
Oh! I'll take that back. I had to buy reman starters for daughter's 107
and for my original SDL, but someone else installed because it was
miserably cold. Both were bosch reman. One is still going many many moons
later, the other lasted until the car went away a few years later.
