I'm only at 65k miles for my 2000 S so I want to say a rebuild is not necessary - but if they crap out under 100k miles then maybe it's just worth doing while I have it out.
While actual mileage on the car may have nothing to do with how long the starter will last..........

I also have a MY2000 and my starter failed at 66K
