Default starter problem?? or something else

when i try to start my car, every now and then, it won't. when I turn the key, i just hear a loud click, but engine doesnt turn over, then if i try it 2nd time or 3rd time, then it'll start. it's not the battery, since there's a lot of power left. I think it's the starter, but can it be something else?? ignition switch maybe? thanks

sounds like the starter...does the car start when you "pop/push" start it? try tapping the starter with a hammer(remember tap, not smash ) and see if it starts after that...your starter might be "sticky"

Sounds like a starter but did you check your battery also? How are the battery cables look? If it's corroded you'd want to change both positive & negative.
