There are certain advantages to this scenario. You still own a Scooby, but the fuel consumption will be superb, the mileage won't increase and ultimately the car won't suffer wear an tear so will one day be a classic top quality example of the marque long after the others have all 'died'. Additionally having to walk instead of drive will make you fitter and prolong your life.

In fact this could be a new way to buy these sort of cars. The OP may be a trendsetter.

With all due respect to the op, should we start being nice in the hope he/she finds a solution?
Something along the lines of going back in time and not hastily giving money to a stranger for a car with a non functioning key.
Previous owner must laughed watching drive away.
Anyway, new member new car where are the pics???

I feel for him to be fair, the excitement of getting a new car, especially one you've always wanted makes it easy to forget to check even seemingly simple things.

There's likely to be a straightforward explanation for the problem be it a seized lock or a door being replaced from a breaker and the lock not getting swapped out.

I hope he sorts it because he's had a bit of a baptism of fire here on SN..

In all fairness, if the op can't operate the door locks!!! I don't think he should be behind the wheel of a motor!

Seriously though, you wouldn't by a car without proper keys no matter who was selling it or no matter how badly you wanted.

If the op poster is still reading this post which I doubt I suggest get an aftermarket alarm fitted!

Get something done quick before it gets stolen and your insurance wont care as you didnt lock it/it was stolen with the keys.

One wonders if the seller has "another one". Same year, colour etc.
