Key Replacement

When I bought my used C43 it only came with one key...any idea where to pick up another key, without having to pay several hundred dollars through the dealership? TIA

Dealership should of given you 2. They owe you a second key.

This. The keys are pretty pricey too. Reach back out to the dealership.

You're assuming that he purchased the car from a Mercedes dealer. If the car was a private sale or from another type of dealer, they are not obligated to provide two keys. They should have disclosed that there was only one key during the sales process though.

You are correct, I bought it from an Acura dealership, and they were upfront that it only had one key. Hence the reason I am looking for a way to purchase a second key for less than the few hundred dollars the dealership quoted.
