My First Mini
What a neat car! I do have a problem with the dealer and getting a new key. The closest dealer is two hours away. He won't let me order a key unless I am there in person with the car. He wants $160.00 for the key and when it comes in, I have to take the car back to get it programed. He said it could take up to two hours to program. Easily looking at $200.00 for a key.

MINI keys are coded to the car (or actually the car is coded to the key). Therefore, the car MUST be there to code the key. Key costs are easily $100+ so its not so outrageous as you may think. Just be glad its not a Porsche
