ouch
Another reason not to buy a new car.
(From a newsgroup post) Keys ... From: Dave Milne <jeep@_nospam_milne.info> Date: Wednesday 07 April 2004 12:53:09 Groups: rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys no references Ok, I'm shamelessly whining. I lost a set of Jeep keys through my own stupid fault. Here's the cost: At today's rating of $1.8408 to the quid: Alarm fob: $141.74 Key: $60.74 Programming: $25:77 Total: $228.25 That's before sales tax. There is *no way* this is a reasonable price - there are entire after market Category 1 Alarm and Immobiliser kits for around that price and the Jeep one is only Category 2. Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ -- Never draw fire, it irritates the people around you. |
