I have an '03 accord v-6.

The black case on the key is cracked where the key comes out. The dealer told me I need to buy a whole new key (like $95) even though the buttons still work. Is that right?

I noticed the cracked plastic because the metal key part was moving around. It looks like a tiny screw is still in there but the plastic still separates.

 

95$?!?!?!? OMG I need a spare key because when i purchased my Accord i only recieved one key so i need to make a spare. Dam, 95$.. i heard it was only around 40$ Im not sure if you got the right price but if your right, sigh.. thats alot for just a key.

there's a chip in there.

 

get some super glue and glue it back together.

 

see if you cant buy it online at hondaautomotiveparts.com and program it yourself. I saved myself $50 by doing that with my key fob when it needed to be replaced. Damn stealerships.

 

call around to some differnet dealres in your area, im sure you will find the right price. in my aread there is a $60 difference between keys from one dealer to the next.
