Default need replacement key

I am looking for a replacement key for a 99 S70. The car I bought only has one and my teenage daughter drives the car so I need to have a spare. I called 2 local dealerships and got $160 and $170. Thats crazy. I know they are laser cut and need to be programmed (yada yada yada) but c'mon! Does anyone have a dealership they have used that can do it for less and ship it to me? It's not an emergency, so I am willing to wait for the ship time. Thanks!

Try University Volvo in Charlotte NC. They mailed me a key for something like $38. I don't think that key is chipped or anything. Our car is a '98.

i have one key only. i was told by the volvo dealer that they will not mail keys. Their is a chip in the key for this car. the prices you are getting seem like the best to me. almost 250 her in brooklyn ny. def get it though if you can. i cant get one made for mine b/c the computer has been replaced blah blah blah so if i lose it then im out of a car

Sorry to hear that. Our '98 is not chipped. That would be a low price for a chipped key. I had a Maxi that had a chipped key. Wanted about $150 for the key and $125 for programming. Blah is right!!!
