If you were in her shoes, given that the battery tested good, the car runs once jumped and the battery is only reading 9v, would you assume it's your starter that's bad? The car is either running off of the battery due to a bad alternator or the alternator isn't producing enough voltage because of a bad engine ground. I don't know how you guys figured a starter into the equasion. I will say that if the OP drives the car in it's current condition, she will more than likely kill the battery and need to replace it as well as whatever is causing the problem in the first place.
Yes I would think the starter is bad..... I had the EXACT same symptoms and results with my car. ALL problems were fixed with a new starter.

I don't know what your problem is, but if you don't agree just say so and offer your opinion as to what Times problem is.
Your rant is not productive to fixing his problem.
