 Or go with used, they are listed on eBay all the time.

I've never opened up the JH solenoid but some times it is just the contact that goes bad.  if the solenoid is still actuating but not passing current then it can most likely be disassembled and the contacts flipped or replaced. 

I once had a Subaru solenoid go bad.  The contact was pitted to the point that it no longer would make electrical contact.  I replaced it by flattening a piece of copper pipe, bending it to form an "L" and drilling a mounting hole in it.  The solution lasted for at least three years when I gave the car to charity.
