My wife and I bought "her car", a new 2004 Crossfire, in November, '04. The dealer could not find the second key. One was ordered but we were told it had to come from Germany.

About two weeks after the purchase, the dealer called and I was told that they'd found the key.

In April, I got a call from the dealer informing me that the key had arrived from Germany. It took more than five months for the key to arrive. It came without batteries. When I picked it up, I was told that the dealer charges approximately $250 for a replacement. I now have three keys.

I've been to a number of locksmiths to see if a key could be made that could be used to open the doors, in case the key accidentally gets locked in the car. Nobody can duplicate the key.
