I'd get one from a salvage yard if you want to save money, but it has to have the keys with it, which might be hard to find, dunno. But if you get one from the dealer you might be able to get one that matches your current keys, but everything from honda is expensive.

I got the whole steering column from a junkyard. But it didnt come with a key so i had to get one made for almost 50 bucks. You will have 2 seperate keys for the doors and ignition but so what. Steering column was $150. You can start the car you just have to seperate the white plastic round piece at the end of the ignition switch, then you can just turn that with a screwdriver or anything. I drove mine around like that for about a month.
