Lost Key - 1992 Saturn SL2

Any easy way to figure out the chip dilemma if I don't have the original key? Is it simply a matter of IDing the code and proving I own the car? ...Or can a key be made?

I have the VIN but no clue on much of anything else...

The car used to be mine, but I sold it to a college student (former student of mine) who lost his key. Thus the personalized questions above but the contradiction here. :)

Update...

Apparently, the key does not have a chip. It's a simple metal key.

No plastic key or spare key in the glove box,etc.

So... It boils down to whether there is a way to ID the key code from the VIN or something else...

Any ideas?

A GM dealer should be able to access the database with that information. It might require one that's been given the official title of "authorized Saturn service center", so likely worth a phone call to check before you go...when there were Saturn dealers, they had access, while other GM dealers did not.

When I worked at the dealership, what we required to look up the data and cut a key based on VIN was that the owner bring in their car registration (thereby establishing it was their car) and their license (thereby establishing they were the person named on the registration).
