If it is equipped with a chipped key, make sure you're using the right key - with the chip.  Make sure you are depressing the clutch right down to the floor with the shifter in neutral (sometimes mats can be a problem with this). On the console there should be a neutral safety switch by-bass access (check manual) - try it by inserting a small screw driver and attempting to start (in neutral & brakes) If above two fail with no signs of power to the engine, give the previous owner a call.

If it is totally dead then it could be in your park neutral safety switch, check underneath where the clutch is housed and push in with your hand and see if it engages

On my 1998 Toyota Corolla, after it starts and runs fine..you turn the key off and it will not start again without a jump. After a quick jump it starts right away. The battery is only a year old. Is it the...

Check for loose battery terminals. Car will not start without jump because battery is not connected properly. Starter is probably good or car would not start with or without jump. If alternator is bad and not producing current, car would die after running a short while as battery would out of juice and without alternator current the car would die - so probably alternator is good. If connections are all good, get a voltmeter and test the battery voltage - it should be over 12.75 volts. If not, battery is not holding charge.
