Default New keys for 1998

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I really hope someone can help me with my problem.

I bought a 1998 Mustang from a company called Copart, they sell cars for insurance companies. The car was theft recovery and it didn't have any keys with it.
I imported the car to Finland and my mechanic has been trying to get it started, but no luck.

There isn't so much information about Mustangs here in Finland and official importer don't wan't to help people who have imported their own cars. What should I do next? Is it possible to get new keys by using car's vin number?

I really need help! My dream mustang is becoming to be a nightmare!

most newer cars have a signal build into teh keys so with out the key the car wont start....not sure what to do to bypass that best bet would be to try to get a new key coded for your car....any ford dealers around there?
