Default Help! All you Mechanics or people that know stuff about cars

So my girlfriends car which is old... sorta died. So old we're looking at a new car but in the mean time we need this puppy to keep working.

The car doesn't start immediately, you usually have to let the key sit in the ignition for a few minutes then you can start it. The last two weeks or so they had problems starting the car and the car wouldn't crank (what she told me). The just boosted the car but once they turned the car off, it wouldn't start again which needed another boost. Do you know what kind of problem this could be? Alternator? Battery? The car is planned for destruction soon so if it's a costly fix we won't even bother.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Okay so apparently the car drove really poorly after starting it and it died right when they were parking it.
