Default Starter? 89 XJ

Ive got a 89 XJ I6 motor. I need a starter but dont have the $$$ for a new one. Is there any other jeep or veichal (sp) out there that i could use the starter out of? Junkyards dont have a starter for I6 motors.

Where you located? I I have a spare one here that I paid 50 for out of a junk yard. I'd be more than happy to sell it to you. It came out of a 98 with 76,000 miles on it. Let me know if you're interested

This shows every vehicle that uses that starter. You will have to go thru it and see if you can find any of the vehicles at the JY.

See if you can verify if it’s the starter motor or the solenoid. If it’s the solenoid you can get a repair kit from most auto parts stores. Or swap another solenoid from a similar starter.
