A single clonk type noise is a good sign. If you have a rapid clicking with dimming of the lights you have a bad battery. Make sure you have proper voltage/cranking amps before you make a decision.

Although a car starter is a great concept, I definitely would not install it in a 1999 Intrepid. I have a 99 Intrepid, and have heard that that year was the worst for the Intrepid. I have had nothing but problems with my car, and have spoken to others with the same model and year as mine. A car starter can totally screw up the mechanics of a car, especially one with such a bad rep. Another thing is that if you need a starter, I would probably get a professional to do it. They might offer you some kind of a warranty.
Car or truck, remote starter
Loud clicking noise when you turn the wheels.
The battery might be dead, or your engine might not work. *EDIT* Check your ignition coil, or starter solenoid, instead of saying "your engine might not work". If you take a hammer and tap the starter when somebody else is cranking the vehicle then you need a new starter.
Bad starter, bad starter solenoid, or the problem might not be the starter at all.

First, turn on the headlights. Now, have someone watch them as you try to start the car; do they get dim? If so, the battery is in need of a charge; If not, you need to check your connections at the starter. You may have a bad starter, starter solenoid, or connection.
To purchase a car starter you would need to visit an automotive store like Auto Zone or Pep Boys. The price of a starter depends on the year, make and model of the car.
Might be a defective starter solenoid
