I have a 99 Saturn SL2. When the car started today it started hard. Started made noise like a grinding. Once the car started it sounded normal thank goodness.
Is it more likely my starter? Or will any other parts need to be replaced. What is your experience out there? I am suspecting its gonna run me about several hundred tohave it replaced. I have 110000 on the car at present.
Is this something I could do myself, or will I have to have a mechanic do it.

If the solenoid turned and the starter turned, then it is probably not your starter. There really isn't much there to go bad, just a switch and a HD motor. You need to describe the noise better.

Well it turned out to be the starter. I had my mechanic look it over and a rebuilt one with a lifetime warranty was installed. Part was $210 and the labor was $60, overall not too bad.
