Unfortunately we aren't going to post how to steal a car online.

I hope you checked it has a clean title and hasn't been reported stolen...

I'm sure there might be a rational reason for buying a car without a key but I can't think of one.

It came with a key bur as I said looks like someone tried to steal it off previous owner so ignition barrel is all pulled apart so was trying to get it started while I know what to purchase to fix

Perhaps a locksmith could help you or buy a new lock.

All you need is a key and barrel from another car, install and use with the existing key head that is matched to the BCM in the car.

I don't think the key is correct one it came with title and everything is fine with the rego and all of that its got all the paperwork but just not sure if it's original key

If got key that turns ignition & another for doors just need key fob that is synced to car it should start.

Otherwise proof of ownership to get locksmith or dealership to make new key with synced key fob.

Anything after mid 90's is rolling code so you wont get easy peasy answer you want either need matching key or change ecu/bcm/key

Am I able to just swap out the bcm or do I have to replace everything to get it started

Does the key manually unlock the door? That should tell you if the key is the right one.
