Car isn't starting.

Obviously the battery. You can tell right away from the weak sounding start attempt and the dash goes out. Have you had the battery for around 7 years? Yep, time for a new one.

Not sure lol bought it used. But I will most likely get a new one. What is a recommended brand?

I'd just get one from Costco. If this was a motorcycle battery we were talking about I'd say a Lithium Iron battery because they weigh nothing. Lithium Iron for cars are just wayyy too expensive still. Anyways, Costco Lead Acid batteries are good and will last you about 8 years if treated right.

You may also want to check your battery terminals too. I had a Honda that had the positive terminal come loose and was just kinda sitting on the battery post.
