I bought the car listed above, when purchased I got a key from seller, they said matched the key to the old ignition but was not programmed. The problem is the ignition was taken out a evidently lost. I was wondering how to go about how I get an ignition to match my key or what will I have to do to get car going?

The best way is to get a preprogrammed unit from the dealer or call a mobile locksmith which can do the job for about $250.00. Here are the instructions for changing out the key and lock assembly. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
