What is your question?
I shut the car off went into the store, I came out of the store went to start the car and it would not start all I got was a clicking noise. I had three gentlemen try and give the car a jump and that did not work. I had to call a tow truck to come and get the car. The tow truck driver also tried to jump the car to no avail it just made a clicking noise a couple of times and then it stopped even doing that. I have not had any indication that I might have a problem with the starter or the battery. What could possibly be the problem before I start putting money into this car and it is impossible to get to the starter it is basically hidden, the car will have to be put up on jacks in order for someone to make an attempt to get to the starter.

test battery 1st and then pwr to starter, it could be several issues.poss rec having it ck' by your mech and save time and money
Bite the bullet, remove the starter, bench test it. Chances are that is your problem.
As already stated , test and be sure the battery is fully charged. The next easy step for you to do without any dis-assembly is to turn the headlights on (prefferably when dark)and watch the reaction of both the headlights and dash warning lights while you try to crank it (and it presumably makes the 'clicking' sound.If everything goes COMPLETELY dead , you have a bad connection.If it just flickers when it clicks then I'd agree---remove and have bench tested and while your therebefore removing the starter check the signal wires connection to solenoid -could have same symptom if that is loose or faulty.
