We are looking at buying a 52 reg Almera Tino from a private seller. He only has one key as he lost his spare. We would want to have two as I am hopeless for losing things and wouldnt want to be locked out. I rang our local Nissan dealer who says it will cost £191.90 incl vat as it is linked to the alarm and immobiliser.
Ouch!! :mad:

Is there a cheaper way to do this? I am not very technically minded.

Thinking of asking the seller to reduce price a bit more, but we have already bargained to within an inch of his life so not sure he will be able to go any lower.

A dealer quoted me a similar price for an immobiliser key... so I went to a key cutting place and had one done there for £25, it works fine. Since you have an alarm it may be a different situation though.

I may be overthinking here but as you're buying privately, you should probably assure yourself the key is actually lost and that once you are sold the car he or anyone else won't 'find' the spare key again...

The nissan key can be copied, although a decent locksmith will charge around 55 for a key with the immobiliser chip in it, this will not operate the central locking reotely tho, it will open the door and allow you to start the car. If you want another remote alongwith the key it will be around £150 at an independent locksmith. I know this as I have exactly the same car and had the same problem until about a fortnight ago, you will not get a key and chip for a nissan done for £25. If you want to have a seperate remote, you can buy a secondhand one off ebay of the same style and it is pretty easy to reprogram it to your car, hope this helps

A friend of mine bought a second hand car, the dealer had only one key. A few nights later, my friends neighbour caught someone trying to steal the car, which was parked on the street. Fortunately they'd had an immobiliser fitted. They held onto the would br thief until the police arrived. Turned out someone had dropped him off and given him the missing key to enable him to drive it away.

Ginger nuts - What sort of place would I need to find to get a key with imob chip in? Im not too bothered about the remote locking.. just wanted to have a space incase we manage to lose the only one we had - wouldnt want to be locked out.
I presume my local timpsons cant do it? lol.
