First of all, are you sure the battery isn't dead? And are you getting power to the starter? If the starter solenoid is bad it will make a click sound when you turn the key. You oughta try getting a screwdriver and jumping the two terminals on the starter. Other problems could be the park neutral safety switch (that's assuming you have an automatic), the ignition switch, and a relay for the pass code chip in the key. There's also a fusible link coming off the starter.

Since you just bought a new starter, there's a good chance that a connection there has come loose. Or the new starter or solenoid has gone bad. Sometimes, banging on the starter solenoid with a tire iron will get it to temporarily work again.

Even if your battery is fully charged, a jump start can never hurt to try.
