2014 Focus MK3 Key

I've just purchased a 2014 MK3 Focus today, and after doing the paperwork and settling the balance, I get handed one key fob. Used car dealer says he only has the one key for it, it's only the fob one and not the one with the backup key blade.

He says he will try and sort one next week and offered to "go half" on the price, and told me they are about £100. (I will try and push for free if he does come up with a key).

Is this the correct price for a proper MK3 Ford Focus key fob with key blade?

    Likely to be at least double that figure.

    Yeah they vary, earlier ones are around that price if they have a goto place, but if its the later system then expect your share to be around that amount.

    Will it be a proper new key or will it be a cloned key? Cloned is cheaper but you cannot create or erase keys, the missing key will still open the car and start the engine.

  • Didn't say what type of key but I'd suspect it'll just be a key that works rather than an official key/fob.

    I've found the keycode number, will I be able to have a new 3 button remote with keyblade made with this number?

    EDIT: Scratch that, it was the code for the locking wheel nut. :(
