Are you still on the original battery? If you can remove it and take it to autozone or advanced they can check it for you for free.

Thanks... Yes it is the original battery, but I had counted out battery problems because all lights/radio/etc. are going strong. Think that could still be it though? Thanks again -KM

Lights and other electronics on the car draw a lot less than the starter.

A seven year old battery in mass doesn't owe you anything, it lasted longer than it should. Autozone duralast gold are pretty good batteries if your looking for a recommendation. They cost around 100 bucks and you get a small cash return when you give them your old battery. If you are still unsure about it, they can test your battery for free, but you will have to pull it out of the car. They are a little heavy.

Possible neutral safety switch if your car is an automatic. I would put the car in neutral and see if it starts then.
