RobbieB Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Hey guys, Just got home with my 350Z and like the big girl I am, I've been scared shitless since I picked it up. Constantly worrying that I got all the paper work and signed everything and so on. Anyway, one of my largest worries is that the guy said the 350Z only came with one key. He looked for a 2nd then asked someone else in the (non Nissan) dealership if it came with 1 or 2 and the guy said 1. However, I am extremely cautious and was wondering if 1 key is normal? Cheers.

Rob Think it comes with 2 std and 1 courtesy key as standard. You can get spares though.. Quote
nixy Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 yep, i've got 3 keys. 2 normal and one valet key. Can't believe they would say ANY car only came with one key! Quote
matth76 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 The nissan main dealer I'm picking my car up from tomorrow said the car only came with one key and weren't nice enough to throw in a spare key as part of the price esp as I'm paying so much money so not the best service. Spare key costs £108. Quote
Maccaman Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 My son bought a Honda Type R from Brincars (same dealer I got the Zed from) and it only had 1 key. 9 days later it was pinched, never to be seen again, from the front of the house in the middle of the day. The manager said they had an email from head office telling them to be careful with spare keys. Get them to sort out otherwise they will charge you silly money to recode a new key. Quote

RobbieB Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 How can I check if the car came with more than 1 key originally? If it did, what on earth do I do Quote

matth76 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I wouldn't worry to much about having one key. Unless it's a REAL dodgy dealer. Quite a few members on here have bought a 350 with only one key - I'm another one! But I am more pi**ed off about having to pay the extra for a key. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 i excahnged my last car in 07 civic with only 1 key, as i had buggered the spare up trying to swap it into a flip key body. i accidently snapped a leg off the transponder. sometimes they get lost. one key is ok, but i might look at getting a crook lock as a deterent if your worried. that or pay the cash and have it recoded.

bronzee Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I was given 3 sets of keys with my Zed, had it since new, so been very careful not to loose any of the keys. Quote
cerealuk Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Can you not get the keys recoded then ? scrap the existing keys and get a brand new set? I know this would work for the remote locking but would you need a new ignition barrell ? Quote
MSportUK Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 yep, i've got 3 keys. 2 normal and one valet key. Can't believe they would say ANY car only came with one key! +1 Seems a bit dodgy! Quote
IanS16 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 My last 2 Zeds only came with one key. Wish I didn't read these threads sometimes Quote
M13KYF Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 tell them to give you a second key plus a valet key or otherwise your walking away from the deal. Plenty more Z's for sdale and dealerships are keen to move any cars at the moment. Don't give in Quote
From A to Zed Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Isn't the valet key the important one? My valet key has a little metal tag attached to the ring with a serial number, like a small dog-tag. I would have thought you needed (the serial number) to get copies. Quote
Stew Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 My Lexus came with one key from the dealer. (I think they guy had that owned it before me probably had the others in his house. They guy that bought it off me called me about a year later asking if there were spares as his wife lost the key and now were told they need a new ECU and £2k or something! Quote
