Like Cole says, seems you have bad connection on either positive or negative connections after the battery (probably in the trunk area as connections under the hood seem ok as you can jump start from there). The bad connection is probably ok to power accessories but cannot conduct the current needed to crank the engine. Check all main +/- connections on leads from battery to their terminals.

It's possible your old battery was ok
