If the previous owner had the origional FOB he may be able to open the car, but would still need the keys to start it.

Following is some good info on PKE

Do a search on VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) the pellet is a resistor. Just remember that the previous owner had keys for the car, don't worry about the key fob.

And the reviews (namely, the opinions of owners) is mixed on the PKE. Some really love it for its convenience and others really, really don't. I'm one of those moving more toward the latter. I think it's a cute invention at the time, but don't have the patience to get it to work properly.
