Contact your local locksmith. It's usually cheaper to rekey a lock than to replace it. Most locksmiths do cars too.

Yeah, but if this car has had the ignition lock changed out the locks will no longer work on the same key.

Best thing to do is to remove the door locks and rear hatch lock. (an easy operation btw--- total of less than 1/2 hour). Take these three locks and the ignition key to a locksmith and say "please make these three locks work with this key."

It should cost less than $40 including taxes and the shop should be able to provide same-day service.
