Well, I'm an idiot. I've lost my only 928 key. Anyone here ever had this problem? What did you do? The car is locked in my driveway, and I have no clue where to start.

If all else fails, I ordered one for mine from the dealer with the VIN and it works perfectly. It was around $90 with the lighted head. If I recall correctly, it took about a week to deliver. The one I got with the car was so worn it took a lot of coaxing to get it to work. I kept it for a spare in case of emergency. Good luck.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. I feel like such and idiot, but what else is new. Thanks again.

One thing to consider is that there is no guarantee that it will work. If it doesn't, it will become nothing more than an expensive trinket. You will have to pay for it in advance and it's yours to keep whether it works or not. If your ignition switch is still original then you're probably safe. If your lost key fit all the locks then it's a good bet it's original because rekeying everything would have been a might pricey.

Lost mine last week as well, tore the house apart and finally found it under the sofa cusions. Don't give up.

Call information, ask her where your key is....worked for Steven Wright.

On second thought, you might want to check with the kid in your avatar. He probably hid it as revenge for his 99 mph hood ride.

If you have a good pic of the key, you could probably have one made by the guys in Australia that sell copies on ebay.

Might I suggest a quality lightweight, aluminum 'D' ring now that the horse has left the barn.
Don't feel like an idiot ... be one!
But, fear not, you won't be alone Steveo ... I too must admit to having only one key.
APPARENTLY, there are others like us.

Then again maybe THEY were just to cheap or lazy to have the second key made.

Any chance you locked the keys in the car? You may want to call AAA to slip jim or use the infamous secret opening to get in before ordering a new key from the dealer. just my 1.5 cents

Steve, are you sure the key isn't in the ignition switch? '88 and older cars have a way of mysteriously locking the doorlocks at times, it has happened to a lot of people here.

Steve,

I ordered a key from the local dealership here about 2 years ago for my 79. Perfect fit! In fact, the original key was so worn down, I'd have to jiggle it to get it in the doors, hatch, and ignition. The new key fit like a charm.

You can move the car with some dollies from the local auto store, for now. Be careful....
