Need a new key...

And it cost 70 bucks for the key plus 140 to code.

I found this on ebay:

Legit or not?

I decided to give streetkeys.com a try; they are local and supposedly good.

WTF, it's suppose to be under $100 to program the key, try to find another Nissan dealer if possible, and tell that dealer to suck a d!ck.

HOLY SH*T MAN! thats straight rediculous! in MA its $80 key and coded. thats rediculous. it takes them about a minute and a half to program it. i watched them do one of mine. but i hear some lock smiths can make coded keys for our cars. dont know if its legit but on a few other posts like this thats what some people have said....look around i guess?

^^ no only 99 and up have the coded key, your key would cost like 5$ tops at any key-cutting place.
