I would try a new battery and if its not the battery then is the starter, i would say its the Battery though.

yup. Make sure the terminals on your battery are clean. But yeah just sounds like a bad battery.

The clicking is the solenoid. The battery has enough juice to move the solenoid but not the starter. This is a text book example. Just replace the battery.
