My wife "Cleaned" the house and now we can't find the normal black key for my S (It is a 2005).
Went to Lowe's and they said they can't cut that type of key.
Went to a local locksmith and they said no problem and they wanted $50.00. That includes a new blank, cut and program.
Just for comparison I called 2 local dealers. One said cutting the key would be free but the blank would cost $32.55 and then programming would be $52.00. The next dealer said cutting and programming would be free, a blank would cost $25.95.
Needless to say I am going up to the more inexpensive dealer this afternoon and pick up a new key

So, did you end up getting the $25.95 price?
Out the door with tax was less than $27.00.

Tried to PM you but wouldn't go thru. Could you please PM with the name of the dealership and the person you worked with? Thanks very much.

I was in lowes this weekend and they had a fancy touch screen key cutting machine.. In some other thread someone mentioned that lowes cuts keys for cars. Anyway, I approached the machine and there's an option for 00-05 s2000s, but no '06+. Not sure if/how the programming part works or the price but if it doesn't work I'm sure they'd give you a refund.. Just a heads up for anyone that might be looking to have another key made. I have an '06+ so didn't try it (not sure what the difference is).
