Yup. That was then, this is now. In 1971 you could buy a gallon of premium gasoline for all of 32.9 cents too. Now it is ten times as much, as is your starter...
Oh, and with 158k, I was going to say that the starter itself has seen a lot of time and may be the cause. Not so heroic to say that now though...
