Okay..finally got word from my mechanic. He confirmed that it was indeed my starter. With all my years of driving, I've never had a starter just completely go without any indication. On my old Camry, it used to choke before start up and a little banging on the starter would turn it over.
Anyhow, I'm just glad this ordeal is over. I want thank you all for your help and suggestions!
Sincerely,
Dino

I am baffled as to what could be wrong with my 2002 Lexus ES300. I have never had a problem with it, always started without a hitch, but a few days ago, I stopped to make a quick purchase and when I tried starting my car, the engine would not turn over. I initally thought my battery was dead although less than 3 months old, but immediately took notice that my lights were brighter than ever, my CD player worked fine, my windows had no problems and my dash display was illuminated.
After a couple hours my spouse tried shaking the engine and it started right up, but once home it was back to square one. Since a few of you experienced this problem early on, was wondering if you found a solution and if you care to share?
Thanks for your feedback...

This is most likely a bad starter. This happened to me a couple of months ago on my 2002 ES300. Try tapping on the starter with a wooden broom handle and see if it starts.
