Refurbished Key?
 

Did a little searching here on the forums and I couldn't find the exact answer I was looking for.

I, like many others, received my Z with only 1 key :(

I have seen a lot of threads of getting a key from a dealer, getting it programmed, etc, can cost upwards of $350?

Now I have found a lot of refurbished keys on Ebay and other places for around $50. Would it be as easy as buying one of these keys and bringing my Z into the dealership and having them program it?

Would this save me any money? Or does the main costs lie within getting the key programmed? Sorry if I rambled, just want to not spend that much on a replacement key.

Thanks!

It is cheaper to buy a key on the internet and then have your dealer reprogram it. Also make sure that you are buying the right key. Look at your key and remove the small key within it. Underneath you will see a serial number, make sure to look at key that have the same serial number.
Also shop around, dealers do not have a set key reprogram charge. I called a few places and got a good reprogramming deal. I saved 100 dollars I only had to drive a few miles more than I wouldnormally would have

I bought one off ebay before, it was new as far as I could tell. There was no issue reprogramming it at the dealer and cutting the valet key.

z1 has them for $115 brand new.
