Just went to try to get a spare key for our car.
TWO HUNDRED QUID!
No thanks. We'll take extra care of the one we've got! 🤣

What kind of car?
@InvaderGzim Honda Jazz 2008
Is it a transponder?
My Prius transponder broke and I ran into the same obscene price problem.
Turns out, it depends on your definition of "broken."
It didn't work because the case had cracked and the button couldn't function. However, the internal stuff (that would need programming if I ordered a "new" key) was fine.
Ended up finding a new case on Amazon for about $11. And I had a second functional key.
Best. Savings. Ever.
@BlueStateBabe
Oh no. I have a working key but the car only came with one as it was second hand and the previous owner lost one.
I'm looking to buy a new second key, not fix a broken one! @InvaderGzim
Stuey, is a Honda Jazz the same as the US Honda Fit?
@BlueStateBabe
I have no idea.
Unlikely.
Even if were essentially the same model, UK specs have to come up to EU standards so things are built differently.
@stueytheround @InvaderGzim
OH MY! Funny story about why the Honda Fit = Jazz in Europe.😳
