    Lost keys, no spare.

    Lost my keys and I don't have a spare. Should I just go to a normal locksmith?

    How can I fix this haha..

      With the VIN and proof of ownership you can go to the dealer and get brand new keys.

                    I figured you were too lost in Porsche land to be of help, so I stepped in. Forgive me if I overstepped my bounds.

                    (I deal with having to order keys for customers at least once a week. BMW is very picky, but not as bad as Mercedes Benz....)

                      $62 the last time I asked dealer. Just have them make one for you then go to ACE to have a duplicate made for $3.75.

                        No bounds were stepped, over or under. I knew the general concept, but obviously my specifics were lacking the proper content. Do you recall the current price for new keys?

                        Porsche Land is a sore in my backside at the moment, E30 is DD and solid as a rock. And filthy dirty.

                            I think they were around $45. Haven't done e30 keys in a forever time. Mine were like $35 ea, but I basically get stuff a little over cost. We get stuff at 20% under MSRP, so somewhere around $45 sounds about right.


                            Remember, you can only make a copy of a copy like 5 times. They begin to be ill fitting, and you must go new. Don't bitch, get a fresh one, stow it away and have a couple copies made. That way your good new key stays fresh and you ruin the $1 turds Ace turns out.

                            ...and yes they will cut a steel key. I've had them do it may times.

                              Yup, I did this already because my key that came with the car was so bad it could not make a proper copy.

                              Cost only 68 or something like that.
