Denso vs. Bosch Starter Motor - 2000LC

[JoeBush]

My 2000LC starter is finally giving up the ghost and I have a the choice of purchasing a new Denso $95, or a rebuilt Bosch $115 at RockAuto.

Does anyone have experience with the Bosch. The Denso is the OEM product but I have had good experience with Bosch parts in the past and wonder if anyone here has an opinion.

Thanks!

I would not think it is possible to buy a "New Denso starter for $95."

Actually you are correct looking at their listing closer it is a TYC. A rebuilt Denso is $108. The question still remains is a Bosch or Denso better.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Bosch makes POS automotive components. And appliances for that matter.

And yet Bosch is the only brand of wipers I have found that contour to both the front and rear windshields perfectly...

Denso, hands down. Bosch has some good products but OEM is better for this application.

Thanks all I made a call to a mechanic friend and he also said the Denso was superior to Bosch.

Just had the dealer install an OEM Denso. I've heard not so good things about Bosch starters.

Denso. I can't think of any aftermarket parts (that aren't upgrades) that are better than OEM.

Oh I certainly can, but not so much for the 100 series. Denso and Aisin products are hands down the way to go for Toyota
