Agree with above but want to add the following...
When cranking the car without it wanting to start, look at your Tach and see what RPM's its displaying. If 0, your crank position sensor is bad. If anything other than 0, replace your ignition switch.
Given that the car is new to you, an ignition switch replacement is money well spent. In the USA, its a $15 part that will eliminate all sorts of potentially weird behaviour, from lighting and AC problems to stereos that won't work (amongst other things).
