Just placed an order for just an extra key for my 996 from AristocratMotors, Porsche dealership. Cost $320.61 + $15 for 2 day shipping. Wow!!!!! Had no idea how expensive these things are . Does this sound about right?

 

You may have been screwed.

LIST is:
Key Head, $172
Key Blade, $110

Now if they are programming it for you, you probably did ok, as they may charge as much as $50-$100 for that on top of the parts. If it was just the parts, they took you for about $40.

 

their price includes everything....but still. not a cheap item for certain.

 

buy it from carlsen porsche. they quoted me $190 programmed, i believed with the key blade cut as well. i bought the keyhead from ebay for 70 brand new, bought the key blade for $30 had it programmed cut for $20. so i spent ~120 for everything.

 

thanks for the advice. i will try to google them tomorrow. if it's not too late, i will cancel my order w/ aristocrat.

you, sir saved me a lot of beer money.....believe it or not, the $320 price Aristocrat Motors quoted me "doesn't" include the cost of programing (that's another $60).

per your suggestion, i called carlen porsche this morning and order a new one remote/key (cut to code) for almost half the cost. unfortunately, i will have to bring it into Aristocrat for programing..(hated to give biz to outfit like that) thank you again so kindly.

 

u should alwyas shop around dealers, different dealers charge differently for parts

 

no prob. make sure u give me a ride in your 360 and diablo if we ever gonna meet

 

you got it. if you are ever in the neighborhood or nearby, please call, stop by and get in some driver seat time.....

always look forward to meet new people and opportunity to make new friends. have a great weekend.


best,
