when you buy a new Honda... doesn't it come with 2 keys?
when you buy a new Honda... doesn't it come with 2 keys?
I'm about to get a 04 accord... the alarm is built into the key (which i love)
but I wanted to know, doesn't it come NEW to the ORIGINAL OWNER with 2 keys?
if so, i should be entitled to it from the dealership right?

Mine came with 3 new
2 main
1 valet
That was in 97 however, I'm not sure what the practice is for accords now, however!
Our 06 Civic LX came with
2 primary (clickers)
1 valet (non clicker)
*edit*
ehhh i dunno about your situation though, buying it used at a Honda dealership? Or buying it used elsewhere and expecting to get 2 free keys from a Honda dealership?

buying from dealership...
if the key was just a regular key with seperate alarm I could just make a key copy but because it's built into the key i don't feel i should have to pay for it

Yeah, those I believe they have to program specific to the car.
I would argue the point with them to try to get an additional key. I don't think they'd be obligated to but worth trying to get the additional $100 key tossed in.

key that starts the car and opens the door only key does not allow access to trunk, glove box or any other key locked item. also limits engine performance as well

Main keys start the engine & open everything.
Valet keys start the engine & open the doors but not the trunk or glovebox.
I never heard of the valet key limiting performance. That's a new one... ?
All my Hondas came with 2 main keys & 1 valet key.
'95 Integra (no remotes)
'98 Accord (immobilizer built into key but remotes are separate)
'03 Accord (immobilizer & remote built into key)
'07 Civic (immobilizer & remote built into key)
If the previous owner didn't give all the keys to the dealer when they traded it in, I don't think the dealer is under any obligation.
But you didn't buy the car yet, right? It's certainly fair for you to ask for them for keys while negotiating.
