    Is the key snapped off in the lock? If so, you try using a couple of narrow, pointed tools to jiggle it out. You may well need a locksmith, though.

    Ah, you mean cut a key from the door lock barrel. It's certainly possible in principle - try calling a few locksmiths to see whether they can/will do it for you.

    Assuming everything is still original, usually a dealer can make a copy of the key for you, simply by using the vehicle identification number. I would definitely call them first.

    I think since it is an older car, it probably won't be that much, because it doesn't have a computer chip in the key.
