Best place to buy a new key

[Ranjo]

Hi all
i only had one key with my car w202 C180 classic. The key works fine however i have been trying to buy a new one to keep as a spare. The stealerships are quoting me silly prices cheapeast at £145 and most expensive at £196!
Any ideas where i can get one at a sensible price please?

Sorry there is nowhere else to get a key from

Don't waste your money on an e-Bay key. Despite what they may claim in the ad, you'll only get a new key (that actually works!) by paying the £150 or so at a main dealer.

Thanks for that guess i best start saving up in the mean while best look after the key that i have.
Just seems extortionate to have to pay 20% of the value of the car just for a key!

If they were more easily available & cheaper, more MB's would be stolen.
Think of it as a security device instead of a key.
