If your car won't start by itself but getting it jumped will start it then it's probably the battery and not the starter; assuming your alternator is making good voltage while driving around.From what I've gathered starters do tend to crank slower as they age, so it's possible if your car never cranked very hard that the starter is slowly dying. My dad had the same problem with his mustang and he said when he put in a new starter it cranked like a mo-fo.If you do need to do the starter though, I think if you're at least a little mechanically inclined you should be able to do it yourself.</blockquote>
