Yes, she is a gasser...the starter actually only cost $300.00...but the repair shop "claimed" it was extremely labor intensive. And they had to troubleshoot because at first they did not know what was wrong. I just about wanted to jump out of a window...and it's not about whether we could afford it or not...we could have put that type of money to better use if we had to spend like that.
When I first noticed this post, I thought it was about a DP. :E
For a late model F53 starter at NAPA auto parts they cost $50-$70, at a Ford dealership I'd estimate $150 tops. As far as labor, it's about 1 hour to install, the shop labor rates are $120-150/hr?:h
It takes about 10 minutes to install, if you do it yourself. :R
