Well I know some relays are in the fuse box under the hood (found that out recently) and obviously I'd look there for a fuse also 
This may seem unlikely but I'm not 100% convinced that it isn't the battery. Did they test it before you purchased it?
A while back I didn't find out a battery that I purchased had lost it's charge sitting on the shelf (presumably b/c not as many small cars w/ small batteries in my area) until after it was in the car
If I remember correctly, the car turned on and all that but wouldn't turn over. A second battery, that was checked first of course, solved the problem.

does it click or just nothing....if you have a set of jumper cables you can jumper the starter...if it cranks the engine than you know its a fuse/relay ...if it doesnt than you know you have a bad starter.......use your head :fawk:

UPDATE!!
finally go the damn thing started. turns out it was the ignition fuse under the hood. since i didnt have a spare fuse at the time i took the one from the option position since they're both 50a. that started it up instantly. i go buy a new fuse to replace the one i took off the option but now with that fuse in i can roll down the windows but i get no start. if i take it out i can start the car but the windows wont roll down. :wtf: :madr:
