How much does it cost to get a new key made at the dealer? I was looking for some keys on ebay and saw them for around $20-30. Can the dealer replace just the key (metal part) and have it cut to fit my car? Any suggestions?

Had a new key made for around $100. Have to go to the dealer with ID and registration of the car to prove it is your car. Took about 5 days for the new key to come in, at which point the dealer programmed it to work with the car, no charge...
