Default 93 Civic DX Automatic HELP

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a civic for acouple hundred dollars but the guy says that it will start up and work fine but once and a while some day the car won't start at all and it will need jumped. Now there is all new alternator, battery, starter, alot of stuff.. So what do you guys think could be the problem? As of now he is saying the fuel injectors, but idk. and i'm not sure if it's every other day it doesn't start up, or once a week, or once a month. Well, any feedback would be great. Thanks.

weak fuel supply, weak iginition system, etc..

ask him if he'll let you run a compression test on it. If that turns out good, its already worth the couple hundred bucks

So do you think the Injectors would have anything to do with it. Could just really bad injectors be the problem? I would have to go to my mechanic to do a compression test. I don't know how to do all that ****, taking off the spark plugs, ect...What about the distributors?
