can i take my car to nissan for them to make a key for me? i just bought the car and the owner didn't have the original key...and the copy that he gave me feels cheap...like it would break or something....can someone tell me if it's possible?

 

yeah nissan will make a key for you....but be careful!!!!


i lost 2 of my 3 keys and i went to the nissan dealer**** in the town i lived (not the city i bought the car in) and they tried to tell me it would be 140 dollars per key because of the computer chip i have in my key....so i was all pissed off about having to dish out 280 dollars just to have 2 keys made...so i went to another dealership and they ALSO tried to tell me that it would be SUPER expensive....and out of despiration i went to a 3rd nissan dealer**** and they made me 2 keys and only charged me 25 dollars!

the moral of the story is: shop around, car dealerships are as bad as everyone sez they are.

 

ok thanks for the reply leiferik!

 

If it is just a regular key, not the ones with computer chip like leiferik has, then your local Wal-mart or locksmith would probably be cheapest.

 

i got a couple blackhead keys off ebay for like $15.....
OEM stuff at that...

 

same thing happened to me, just need to find a blank nissan key. im sure nissan has them, but other places might be cheaper. im lazy and havnt tried yet though, haha.

 

I got a copy of my key made at home depot, cost me like, 4 bucks. They have blank keys for all different cars and you just tell them what car you have. The only thing is that the lady who cut it didnt do a great job, and i have to jiggle the copy to open the lock. But oh well, its only for backup.
