This definetly sounds like the starter motor has gone.
First of all before you spend a lot of money with computer mechanic or personal machanics
try a little trouble shooting yourself. My sons neon would not start it started out as beinging a intermittent problem 1. It had a very old battery we replaced it seemed like this sovled the problem it started and ran for a couple of weeks, then same problem. This seemed like it may be a wiring or inition problem, jumped from the + batt. to the starter relay coil w/ key turned on it started every time was thinking it was the inition. Tried one more thing switched A/C relay w/starting relay in engine compartment fuse box. wa la no money for the greedy mechanic.

Could be that car is not recognizing that it is in park or neutral. That is only if it is automatic.Standards have a switch on clutch pedal. You can jump the starter to see if it is ok without removing from car. If the starter is faulty you would usually notice problems leading up to failure.
Hope this helps
Checck the key starter switch ,if it is switching the voltage to the solenoid of the starter located near the starter motor,.
If voltage is absent, then it is the key switch failure, but if present check if solenoid is switching, if not it is the solenoid switch. But if the solenoid is contacting and the supply goes to the starter without a response then it is failure of the starter motor, it can be the windings, failrue of the commutator,or the brush. But you will need to remove to confirm. maybe a cleaning an d adjsutment of the brush might work.
Hope this advice helps.
