Default So my car didn't want to start....

at all.... battery was drain which makes no sense because I bought it new early this year and its an optima red top and those are good batteries, anyways I was able to get it charged so I mounted it back up on the car and as try to start it I hear grinding so I stop. I inspect the engine bay and everything seems fine so I try again and it grinds, so again for the third time it starts but with hesitation. so I come to the conclusion that its my starter and I need a new one. Does anyone have suggestions on a good starter????

I just picked up one from my buddy over at Pep Boys. Works really nicely and got it for about 120 bucks. Might be a little more because he hooked it up for me. Haven't had any problems with it so far and it's been just about a month or so.
