Was the battery checked before it was sold to you? Batteries will lose their charge over a period of time even when not hooked up. If you have a voltmeter it should read 12.8 volts on a fully charged battery.
Have you tried to boost the car with cables?
I suspect if the car was working OK 3 months ago it should start. Which leads me to suggest an undercharged battery.
Try a boost off another running car with a good pair of booster cables....or put a battery charger on it for a few hours at around 10 amps .....then try it.
The new battery may not have been fully charged when purchased.
It would measure around 12.6 volts if it is fully charged.
