Starter

I bought a 1994 Plymouth Colt with a 1.5 liter Mitsubishi engine. 91K miles.The car has sat for over a year. Put in new battery, new alternator, new plugs, oil etc. Car started but kept stalling. Now I am unable to jump the car. I was told it could be the starter. When you turn the key, it just clicks. Is it worth fixing? I just want the car for a teenager to drive to work. Don't know how much more money to put into this thing. Are starters a problem with this car?
Thanks

May be a starter,but check the cables going to and from the starter and battery first for looseness or corrosion. plan on about .13
cent per mile for repairs and maint on any car you drive.
