A German mechanic inspected it, held the car for a couple days, told me the starter motor is going bust.
Then told me the part is 1500 dollars, refused to install one I would provide.
Have you changed the ignition switch? When I had starting problems I did it in this order:

1. Ignition switch
2. Starter
3. Battery

If I only knew the hack that works only with batteries gave me the wrong one.
