Default My Dilemma

i lost my key of my 92 SC4... is it still possible to get one? gets a little complicating though. yesterday i picked up a copy of a key i had lexus made by giving them my vin number.when i get home with excitement to start my car, i ended up with dissapointment... long story short, i find out the ignition cylinder might have been replaced and im down $100 for the key that only opens my door. anyone know what else i can do? i feel like i hit a wall. called papa lock and said they would need to drill the cylinder...??? im now taking a break from thinking what else to do... anyone wanna take over thinking for me? thanks in advanced for your opinions and advices. i know there are a few out there who has some kind of idea... nikki

It may not be the best solution but I guess you could always get in touch with gazi and see if he can get you the locks, key and ignition cylinder from another sc4 and you just swap those in...

I still need to make a copy of my key...

drilled out, 10-15 mins with a good drill, and you will be set.
