Could be several things so I wouldn't just buy a starter and hope that fixes the problem. Possibilities are a weak battery (new or otherwise) possibly resulting from failing alternator, starter solenoid or starter, faulty ignition switch, loose or corroded battery cable(s) (don't forget, corrosion can be internal to the insulation and, therefore, not visible), and no doubt other things I haven't thought of.

Troubleshoot the problem systematically and find the problem before spending money on unnecessary parts. The factory service manual will help. See the FAQ for links to the manual on line.
