Remote Key (switchblade style)
I am looking for a second remote key fob. I think they can be programmed for a car of my vintage. Need this as a back up as the original seem to be temperamental. Dealer wants two bills for the new one. Cannot justify the cost. Let me know if you have one lying around for reasonable $$$

Keys are matched to the remote module installed in the car, and you have to purchase them from the dealer.
