Check the battery terminals. A lot of the time when it sounds like the stater not working, it;s actually a loose connection and the starter not getting enough power.

Either that or corrosion.

You'd be surprised at how well battery acid corrosion can insulate a terminal, or even inside the wire itself.

Don't jump to conclusions and buy parts until you've tracked the problem.
