did it start when you bought it ? Does the click come from the starter or by the engine ? were you holding the key in start for more than 7 seconds ? Make sure the batt. terminals are tight and try a lump start or charge the batt.

Ours did the same. We have the same car. Turn car to on for 10 min off for 30 sec then report 2 x if the car wont even start then after all the 3x unhook battery for 5 min replace and it should start. The security system on these cars are known to act up and need to be reset.

I mean repete 3x not report.. I know its been 8 months but just incase you didnt get it running.
