KEYS

Aparently this is going on with some brand name dealerships where second hand cars are being on sold with only one key "because that's all it was traded in with" to generate business for their spare parts division in selling the unwitting buyer a new spare key.
It happened to a mate and my mother, who went to the extent of contacting the previous owner, who advised that a full set of two remotes and a service key were handed in with the trade in vehicle. Only one remote key could be found when the car was re-sold.

Mister minit does non remote control clones of keys that will unlock and start Toyotas. (around $150 I think)

Thanx Rob. Yeh hopefully enough people will read this before they get stung for big bucks.

This does seem a truly excessive cost. We have had to purchase replacement keys for our 2002 Mitsubishi Magna. 1 set got lost and another set was stolen. $68 for a coded programmed key and $64 for a key fob from Mitsubishi. I would expect them to be of similar technology and operation.
