Default 2008 997 Turbo question

Did the 2008's come delivered with 3 keys (2 full function keys and a valet key) or just the 2 full function keys?

Did you purchase new or used? The reason I ask is I'm in the process of purchasing a CPO and the dealer (salesman) is saying at some point Porsche stopped delivering the cars with valet keys (he admits he's not sure when).

If the 08's came with a valet key, I want him to cut me a new key.

From MY 2008 on no valet key anymore.
If you absolutely want a valet key you have to find a 2007 ; -)

'08 Turbo here...2 original keys, no valet was provided....granted, I did purchase this car used from a Porsche dealer so it's possible that it may have never been turned in.
