$80+ for a car key? On a Chevy no less?

[z0mb13]

a mercedez key is about $300-$400.. they actually have to order from germany

(unless u own a old MB)

I just went out and got a complete duplicate set of my entire keychain done at Home Depot. $15. I could've done it myself for 10, but I didn't have all the blanks neccessary (I was short a n 90's Chrysler door key and a standard house key, so it was just like "fvckit."

Don't knock those things till you've driven them.

I paid about $38 to have a spare ignition key made for my car ('94 Bonneville SSEi), and it has a chip in it.

actually it just has a passkey-II resistor pellet.

Ah, that's it. Yeah, I'm not exactly much of a car person, but I'm trying to learn.

Just an FYI concerning these keys. I used to work in retail & made keys as part of my job so I know a bit about these keys. You can have copies made of them they just will not start the car. They will open the doors & trunk but that's it. So it's a great spare key if you just happen to lock your keys inside the car.

that's actually pretty good information.

My Mom got a Malibu Maxx and went to have an extra key made. Local hardware store couldn't do it - apparently you can only get at Chevy dealer. $38.59+tax for blank, $40 labor to "program" it. That's ridiculous! My Mercedes key is cheaper than that!

I dunno wut da hell kinda benz u got...but the spare for mine set me bak just over $200.

Yeah my family's benz key is something like $900 (canadian) to replace.. my dads jaguar is up in the $500 range.
