sounds like the batteries are dead. try and jump it with something else or put it on a charger for a while

batterys are kinda new

That means the previous owner cleaned them so they look new, lol. Usualy if its clicking the starter is trying to work its just not getting enough juice.

sounds kind of like a lack of ground.Do the basics, clean the terminals, make sure there tight, then jumpstart it.

Have you tried Optima batteries yet? I highly recommend them. VERY reliable, and really good.
