I see keys on eBay for incredibe prices. They're just freaking KEYS. 15-20 dollars per key is NUTS.

Anyone got a reasonably-priced source for OEM keys? I'd like to buy a couple of sets.

If your not hung up on an original key, any good locksmith place should be able to sort you out for < $5 per key.

A couple of years ago i gave up with the whole originality thang. Most the parts are oem replacements. & jokingly there not real Porsche's anyway

the ones that say PORSCHE on them are at a premium usually 12 or so from different suppliers, the ones that look just like them without the PORSCHE but still with the square rubber head are usually around 5 bucks, and the all steel ones 2.50! Any one should have them available.

I got them from the local dealorship for cheaper than they were on ebay or in any of the catelogs. I don't remember they exact amount but I think it was actually $15 for 2 keys.

If I remember when I go home I'll look it up for you.

It would seem that everything with the PORSCHE name on it is also EXPENSIVE.

I thought most aftermarket keys are plated brass for ease of cutting.

The keys are VW keyway, any good locksmith or hardware store...

/6 keys are not VW keys, sorry guys...

Tony Euganeo is The Guy for 356 and early 900 Porsche keys. He usually attends the Hershey event, where, a couple of years ago, he made a perfect copy on a factory blank for my only 911 key, compensating for a considerable amount of wear (i believe it was the original...)

here's his site: <http://www.lockandkeyid.com/>

Good site, Rich. Thanks.
I belive this is the gentleman who was next to us at GAF a couple of times. Really knows his stuff.

I got "real" Porsche keys, that look like the original with the Porsche name on it from my local Porsche dealer. Only $7.50 ea. and they cut them for me.
