I just bought a used car (Monday afternoon) and once all the paperwork was done they gave me the "keys" to my car.
Well, I only got one key. Does anyone know if, when buying a used car, if the company has to provide you with more keys?
the key I have has a computer chip in it so that the car can't be started without the key. If I lose my one key then I'm screwed because the whole security immobilizer has to be replaced......and I'm sure that doing this is expensive.
The dealers told me that, if I wanted another key it could cost "quite a lot of money." So, what would I do if I lost the key or if it gets deactivated...what happens?
My second question is also about the safety security feature of the car........when the key is in the ignition there's this little red light that is supposed stay on.......and when the key is out the light is supposed to blink.
Well, it blinks and it stays on this but it is the opposite way it should be. Shouldn't the dealer have to make sure that these security features are working properly?
On Tuesday morning I plan to call the toyota company and see whet they have to say about someone selling their cars without the correct numbers of keys.
I hope that this is able to be fixed without any problems.....or I might be looking for another car!
