What do you guys think?

dealer said they cannot order another key or ignition cylinder until the vehicle is registered in my name.

dmv said i cannot register car until it passes state patrol inspection.

next trying to get a hold of a locksmith to see if they can assist.

if the key works in the drivers door, and ignition appears to be original, shouldnt the key at least turn the ignition cylinder?
