you need to get a new starter and sylanoid, most cars it is a very simple process, I have changed about 7 and I am even female (with long nails) best option is to buy a haynes book for your car if you are considering doing it, many minor repairs in that book and they go step by step

I agree with the dirty battery posts. Your battery cables are so corroded that they are not making good contact. Have the cable ends removed or remove them. Postive end first then clean the corrosion off until shiny. Coke will melt most off but they need to be scraped. Just tightening them might help if one is loose. It might be a good investment to get new cable ends.

It sounds like your solenoid but you can take it to Autozone, O'reilly's, Advance auto, etc and have them test your charging system. It could just be a bad connection to your battery.

Check for corrosion on your battery terminals. Make sure your cables are secured tightly to the battery and starter.

Gearbox oil leaking?

just because the battery post looks clean on the outside it doesnt mean theyre clean on the inside.You have to take them off and sand them to a shine(both posts and cable ends)check for corosion at the starter and ground on th engine,(follow battery cables to the engine and starter)if all is clean then it should start if not have your battery and alternater tested at a part store or garage. good luck
