Then- ALL you would have to is go on e-Bay- Search for cars in the area and since they post the VIN's you just go to the dealership and get your keys!

When I went to get a VIN key made for my MR2 that's what they needed. Once I gave that to them, I think it'd be the same as any other car. But who knows...I didn't go through all that trouble...

I believe it was because it was so old...but I can't remember.
