As much money as I seem to have? Ha! I paid $700 for this car after the
person
who owned it was offered $250 by her mechanic. It started running rough
literally at the
last minute before the owner was moving a few states away. I got the car
running and offered the $700
and she was thrilled. With a child in college and another in private school,
I have very little money
to spend on buying cars.

I did question the previous owner about the keys and she was never offered
the option of
having the lock coded correctly, she was surprised that it could even be
done.

There are, but for my needs one key is much more convienient.

Well in this case the locksmith was a female, and was, in my opinion, a
fairly attractive person.
(and she smelled pretty good!)

"to *have* the switch coded..." means you are talking about a previous
owner, right? If you were talking about locksmiths, you would have
said "did not bother to code the switch to the car".

Well you seemed to have a lot of money, because most people without a
lot of money would understand why another such person wouldn't pay to
have locks keyed alike. Instead you called them "idiots".

Your needs are irrelevant, since it's the other people you called
idiots.

Thanks,

I remember well when I bought my (new) 95 SL1. It was a nightmare. I
know everyone says they are treated well, but I guess they figured,
"This guy's a schmuck, we can ignore the *******."
Indeed, my dad accompanied me, and he described the experience as
"pretty shabby."

Anyway, at one point, the sales guy says, "Here's your key!" One
stinking key! Aren't there two? I asked. "One opens everything!"

A 5 page letter to Saturn Corp detailing the nightmare got me the other
key.

[I would have returned the car, but I was starting an intense college
schedule in a few days, and I wanted a new car, and didn't not want to
restart the buying process."]

That's funny, both my '92 and '96 came with 2 keys. When they handed
me the keys, I asked if I could get 2 more. They walked me over to the
service department and let me watch while they punched out 2 more keys
for free (both times)
