hello again!

so my vanagon died (wouldn't start again...weak rev of starter...then
nothing) in the Safeway parking lot, and I had to get it towed to a
mechanic. they told me there was "only so much we can do" with VWs
right off the bat...greaaaat. i figured it was worth letting them take
a look, since I've got virtually no experience. they called me today
and said it's NOT the ignition switch but the starter. if this is the
case, why would my headlights and wipers occasionally not work? they
want to replace the starter and quoted me a $250 job. what should I do
with this? i'd rather not get it towed again, but i don't want to drop
that much cash on an iffy situation. on the other hand, if that's what
needs to be done, i'd be willing to pay for the work.

let me know what you think!

Thanks!!!
