I made a deal with my wife when I bought the Townie. The next car was for her. She settled on a 98 Ford Explorer. It only had one key when we got the truck last week so I had a couple extra made at the local key shop. Funny thing was that although they would turn the engine over, it would not start. I smelled a rat so I drove the Townie over to the local Ford dealership. They said that in order to make a couple of keys, the Ford needed to be brought in for service and hooked up to the computer in order to get a code. The price was quoted at $140 for two keys! When I went back out to the truck, it was surrounded by salesmen. No-one had the guts to ask me if I had brought it in for a trade-in.
Well, now it is my turn to select the next vehicle so several years from now, I will be looking for another Dodge.
Best Wishes
