how much for a spare key & would a VW dealer sale a car with only one?

[TomB]

Dealers will sell 1 key cars if they can get away with it.

I know lots people who got cars from dealers with 1 key, even my GTI had 1 key, but I always demand a new replacement at the point of sale and I've always get one.

If they want to sell you the car, they'll get a key for it.

I bought mine second hand from a dealer with only one key on the promise that they sorted out with another one.  Which they did.  The transmitter part of the key and the re-coding was £70 inc VAT.

which VW dealer was this?
also what did you do for key and key cutting?

Gilder VW Sheffield.  They sent me the ignition part of the key Special Delivery, then I took it to Harrogate VW for the remote and to have it coded.  They refunded me the cost of the latter (promptly I must add).
