source for a new key?

Hello all,
I have an 2012 E350 cabriolet on its way to me and it only has 1 key. Where do you recommend getting a 2nd key from? Is it dealer only or are there other sources?
Thanks for any advice!

The car was delivered today. Well, we lucked out. Even though Carvana said there was only 1 key, I found the 2nd key in the driver's door pocket. Very happy!

Be glad you found one.Had to have mine replaced.After $410.00 plus tow,just so they could be the ones to stick the key in the hole.Even though I paid in full,key was legally mine,they would not hand it over until THEY got to put it in the ignition.Doesnt even seem like it's my car anymore.
