You'll have to find out if the locksmith can clone the key first.. Most Locksmiths in my area can't because they mainly deal with businesses and homes. They shy away from cars because they are a huge liability.
At cost to me I can get a blank for ~35 bucks. But a cloner costs upwards of 2500 bucks.
Local Dodge Dealership would charge me 75 for cut blank, and re-program.
For the guy that has the battery in the keyhead. I feel for ya when that battery dies, because once it's dead that key is almost useless. Then you have to pay and get it re-programmed. The locksmith that sold that to you should be flogged, cause I wouldn't have.

 

Lucky for me when I got my 04 sxt brand new back in july of 04 they gave me 2 keys and never lost either of them since.

 

AFAIK, dealers are required to give you two sets of keys when you buy a new car.

 

$89.00 at the dealer here. Then I found the 2nd key a week later.

 

Not always actually I have know some people who only got one when they got there new ride and had to go back and ask for a 2nd key.

 

Did they pay for the second set?

 

No they did not . I will sooner or later find out if they give me two keys when Iget my new ride later this yr or next.

 

They are supposed to give you two sets. I suppose if they only give you one, and you don't say anything, SOL.

 

We will see if ford gives you two keys going to be getting a gunmetal gray new stang gt hopefully soon. If they dont will be askin for 2 and maybe if Im lucky 3 for free.

 

Always gotten 2 sets from them before with new cars...
