Window motor install runs about $160 at most places I checked. Install itself isn't too hard, but I've seen a few free fixes people have done to the motor itself which seemed a bit more difficult.

Like others have mentioned just do it yourself. It's really not that hard at all.

I'd get that one. Looks like the top one is just a re-manufactured unit maybe for 15 bucks less? You don't need the regulator. I have done them a few times, just find a good write-up and it's really easy.
