Default PLEASE HELP! Need replacement key

How or where can I get a replacement key and remote entry for my 2008 XC90? I know the dealer can do it, but they want 155 for the key and remote and 150 + to program it. I can't afford this. I desperately need help, people! ASAP You can email me at bluegrasscs@yahoo.com anytime with suggestions. I don't know how often I can check this forum. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

That's why we call them the stealer.

Welcome to the forum.

Because of laws, security, and other reasons, that is your ONLY option.

Lastly, my mama don't let me e-mail strangers.

I am new to Volvo's but, if you can find a used key fob (ebay) I think you can get a new blank fron th dealer around $40, have them cut it to match your inginition $20, and then pay for them to program it I would think 1/2 hr of shop time $60, you could save a little money...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I wish they only charged what you said to program and recut. they told me once $150 and then 10 min later on another call to the service they upped it to $200. This was ONLY programming and cutting the blank. I couldn't believe it!
I looked on ebay and the cheapest I could find a blank key and a remote wqas about $80.00.
Thanks again for you help. I truly appreciate it! i aklso appreciate the other reply from the first person.
I too am a new member!

Only one dealer in our town and they want for a new key and remote about $150-175. Can't remember which they said.
IT"S UNBELIEVABLE! I remember when you could get a key for $5.00. I DON"T CARE IF IT HAS A TRANSPONDER! We all should have a choice when we buy a car whether we want the expensive key or the reasonable one. It is truly such a SCAM for dealers!
