Humm... For a conservative estimate, a typical car might get started twice a day. So 700 starts per year, 7000 in a 10-year lifetime, means those 20 starts would add 0.3% to starter wear.
From a quick search, seems a rebuilt starter might cost around $40, so the hypothetical additional wear is about 11 cents, or 0.04 gallons of gas at $2.50/gal.
