The battery is probably done. If its about 5 years old that's about it...

same thing happened to me.. but it wasnt the starter or the alternator..

it was the battery! the battery i guess was messed up and wasnt getting fed power from the alternator..

so if your car goes click click click.. but the lights and stuff still work.. it might be because the battery has enough juice to get those working.. but not enough to feed your starter.. i would start by checking your battery first..

cheaper....

my

good luck!

I say, just get your car checked out. It could be any one of those things that have been mentioned above.
