Key Replacement - 1980 300 SD

[LexTron6K]

Does anybody know how I might be able to get a new key for my 1980 300SD? It seems that I dropped in the road today, where it disappeared in the 12" of snow that we have here in Minnesota.

I thought that I heard Mercedes will replace your key if you give them your VIN #, but I'm not sure if they will be able to do that for a 25 year old car.

If anybody knows something about this, please help me out.

THanks.

i was at sears in tonka a couple weeks ago and they said they could replace my key for my 77 280se... something like 15 bucks... are you that dude with the red wagon who lives at delta chi?

Nope. I live in South Minneapolis. My car is a choco brown sedan. A true fucking beauty man. . . .king of the road with all this snow.

I'll give Sears a call, see what they can do.

THanks man.

You have to go to the dealer to get a key made, bring your ID and registration and it's ususally $25-40 for a clean factory cut key.
