New Key

My key is stuck in the ignition and I cant get it out to lock the doors. So I'm currently getting a new ignition and key off of ebay. Now, when I go to the dealer for a new key to get cut for my doors what do I need to bring with?
Thanks for the help

Re: New Key (LSB18A1)

have you tried calling a locksmith? when my key broke in the ignition, he was able to get it out...

I don't think a locksmith will work because they keys pretty much bent in there. It happend before and I was able to get it out but now its stuck in there.

Does anyone know if theres differences in the lock mechanisms that I should be aware of?

A good locksmith can get that ish out.
I would try that.
Replacing the lock is no fun.

Is the steering wheel locked? Check by turning the steering wheel while trying to remove ignition key. Sometimes the tires can hold the wheel locked nicely.
