No Second Key

[KazB]

I bought an Aygo+ yesterday from my local franchise dealer RRG Bury but they only gave me one key.When I asked for another they said they would try and contact the previous owner as they had not handed it over when they part ex the car.I said I was concerned that someone else still may have a key to my car and they promised to try and locate it.

They also said that if they could not I could order another one at a staggering cost of £180..........am I liable for this cost if they cannot find the spare key? I thought they were legally bound to supply 2 keys? The car is on a 08 plate

Any advice gratefully received.

It will depend on what is written on your contract of sale, if it says two keys they owe you a second key.

Is the £180 the price for a full remote central locking key, most Aygos are supplied with a non-remote key as the second one.

No mention of keys at all on contract and £180 is price for remote. I think its about £80 for standard key

Its one of the things you must check when buying second hand vehicle. In some models you have to ensure you get the master key - especially if you're getting only one key; otherwise you can be seriously out of pocket.

I always ask for a full set, or make it condition of sale for the very reason you are now finding.

Around Milton Keynes way, remote key will set you back £99 (all inc.) - the prices quoted are taking the proverbial!

I would have negotiated the second prior to shaking on the deal. Now you’ve parted with your money the dealer has the upper hand :(

Unfortunately the deal was done by the time the salesman decided to inform me there was only one key.

Also re getting an extra key the dealer has told me I will have to order it from them otherwise the electronic recognition system will not work if I get it elsewhere??

Unfortunately the deal had already been done by the time the dealer revealed that only one key was available

Might be worth checking a Peugeot or Citroen dealer, I assume the keys are the same.

Good idea Re: PUG/Cit.

The Aygo has an immob. as standard, so even if you get the blade cut, the car wont start due to the immob. - hence why you need the new key coded/paired to the car. So you have to go to the Dealer.

I would think out of the box...say call around Dealers a little further afield if you have family in other places of the Country. You may well find they are more sympathetic and give you a better price. As a bonus you could visit family too ;)
