"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". >> That costs extra money you know.

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". >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 also disadvantages to having the same key for the door and >> the ignition.

David,
Can you tell me how to remove the door skins from my 96 Saturn Coupe?

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."] |
