ok, i lost BOTH set of keys to my car. My car is parked on the street and I hope it doesn't get towed. Will the dealer make me a key at the dealership or do I have to wait a few weeks? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

if you have your vin and can prove it's your car, the dealer can make you a new one. how'd you lose both sets?!? i'm sure you'll say if i knew how or where, then we wouldn't have a problem...but both sets? just wondering man, not poking fun.

 

lol, well, if you drink as much as i do, you get pretty forgetful. lol it was weird, i couldv'e sworn i had them in my coat pocket. but nothing, backtracked and everything,,,but nothing. i'm going to wal-mart tommorow and buying those key rings that snap onto your belt loops on your jeans. SO the dealer WILL make me a copy right there IF i can prove to them it's my car? I got all the paperwork PLUS I bought the car there last april.

yeah, you shouldn't have any problems.
Just take them the VIN.
Also, I would only get one key right now from the stealership and then order one from redlinemax.com later. I think they are like $20 cheaper. I assume you are talking about the chip keys, right?

 

i think only 99's use those "chip keys"...

 

Yeah, why would he need a chipped key on his 98?

 

Jepht, you are bustin' on me today. ha ha
I honestly didn't know 99's only had those keys. That sucks. I like the idea behind it, but they are like $65 to replace. I wish I just had a regular key.

 

just keepin you in check man

nothing personal, just adding my comments when i see or know of otherwise...just tryin to keep the org in order cuz we all know how it has been lately.

 

lucky you. I mean you lost your keys, so that sucks, but you're still lucky. Why? Because if you had a 99, like the rest of us, you'd end up paying waaaaaaaaaay more than whatever you will/did.

You would be paying for having someone open your door, PLUS a rough estimate of about $200-300 for the dealer to program your ignition again, without having any of the original keys with chips in them.

Anyway, best of luck!

 

True that.
Thanks for the help. ha ha
You know what they say? You learn something new everyday.
