Default 200K 09 Accord EX-L

Had a perfectly good 2010 TSX ready for my daughter but she didn't want to learn stick shift so she went out and found a car herself.

I had low expectations on the way to the test drive like tire replacement or no air-conditioning but darn near everything works so it came home with us and will be my daughters first car.

We ordered a replacement center console cover on Amazon for like $18-$19, and I noticed it needed a new inner fender liner on the passenger front. Oddly enough after searching multiple Honda OEM parts websites by far the cheapest route was going through Amazon for that as well! Other than that I wouldn't mind having a spare key so researching options for that.

Allow me to introduce Rhonda the Honda

LOL, I was thinking, "déjà vu" when I saw your post; then I popped over to AZ and noticed your same User ID.

Yeah I'm on at least 10 forums, Twitter, and PlayStation as "TerdBath"

Welcome to the forums. As for a 2nd key, take the car (and registration) to the dealer and have them make a new one off the VIN, so the chip in it can be programmed. It may be a little more expensive this way, but it's a one stop shop, and they'll take care of it all (versus buying a key, having a locksmith cut it and possibly program it). The reason for programing the key, is due to the immobilizer. I had to do that with my wife's car, and it was 75 bucks out the door at the local dealership. I hope this helps.

Thank you for that tip. The local locksmith quoted $180. $50 for the key, $50 to cut it, $80 to program.
