coils,starter what else?

So long story short bought a 2004 rx 8 with 60000km on it. its now up to 85 after 2 years. a few months ago it got stolen by a friend that needed a place to crash for a few days.
thought it was under parking insurance cause I don't drive it during the winter in Edmonton.

Anyways after impound fees.driving 3 hours to another city and fixing 2 broken windows.i'm having Battery problems. I replaced the battery at impound to get it out and it started fine.the 2nd time it took 3 seconds to turnover and after that it got worse and worse.

Any thoughts about the problem.i'm thinking out could be the starter 290 from Mazda
And ignition coils 150 each. If anyone knows a cheaper price or if could be anything else please let me know thanks.

^If that falls through, I have a set of oem coils and wires that have roughly 35k km's that worked fine before replacing with bhr.
All you do is pay for shipping, and they're yours. Shoot me a pm if interested

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate issue.
