Did you get check the alternator? If the battery started it after you changed it, the alternator may not have been sufficiently charging the battery.

Try jump starting the car, if it starts, it may be the alternator.

Electrical portion of the ignition switch would be my vote

a few weeks ago my buddy had a bad starter in his DB. took it to autozone and it passed the test but still ended up being faulty. found one on craigslist for $30, works great.

try a jump start with the terminals off the battery of another vehicle. Basically your running jumper cables to another cars battery. A completely bad battery will not crank over even with jumper cables. i suspect the starter as the main problem (get a hammer and beat on it a few times, See if it trys to crank after beating on it. Or check ignition key next.
