Lost keys

Exactly.

Take the VIN # to your local Mazda dealerwith proof of ownership. With rare exception, they can get replacement keys made for you for very minimal cost. Say, $2 per key.

If you don't have a local dealer, PM me. I'll hook you up with a guy that ships parts all over the place. Shipping a couple keys would be nothing to him.

Well I guess I got screwed. Cost $10 + tax at my local mazda dealership and I got one of the SHitty all metal ones not the one with Plastic "Mazda" on it. I hate dealerships!

rxtc7, I did the same thing on my 93 FD two weeks ago. I was in for a free oil change coupon they sent me,so while i was there anyway i had them make me a key for it. the po only gave me the valet key. $11 and again a genuine black head Mazda key. Go figure...I have seen them go for that on ebay with shipping,uncut!

the words "dealership" and "low cost" don't go in the same sentence, unless modified by a "NOT" somewhere in there.
