The parts that were installed on the car, were they factory Toyota parts, or aftermarket? Its not unheard of to get a bad starter, even though it is new. Also, it might be a good idea to check the cables that go to the battery terminals to make sure they arent corroded/separating. And check where the negative cable bolts up to, to make sure it has a good connection.

The initial thought i have when you explain the symptoms is a bad starter though...
