Well we’ve replaced the positive battery cable (it was completely
corroded from the inside out), had the battery checked and it’s fine
and just replaced the starter. My car is still not starting properly.
It will start for a few days with no problems and then all of a sudden
it just won’t start. When you turn the key all interior and exterior
lights turn on but the engine won’t turn over until we get someone to
boost us of, then it runs fine. Any thoughts on what kind of problem
this could be?

I would suggest having the battery tested, make sure the ground cable ends
are good, look for drains in the elec system that might kill the battery
after a few days, if that is the case.

What vehicle?

If Intrigue or Aurora, 3.5 Shortstar or 4.0 Northstar, it's probably the
crankshaft position sensors...
