Spare Key - NATS

Hi Alex - I too have a Micra and want a spare NATS key. The two Nissan dealers nearest to me have quoted £80 and £90 for a new key so I am being treated worse than you are! Anything over £10 is simply outrahgeous, especially when you consider than you can get a complete video recorder with massively complex electronics for the price they are asking for a key. Clearly it's just a money-making racket.

It's truly infuriating

Where did you get the £65 quote from, please?

Best wishes Frank Armstrong

They do it because they can. Virtually every other car maker is gouging the same way for these things.

Its the first Nissan I have had so I think it a case of 'once bitten twice shy.'

Alex.

Hello Alex I tried to get a key from other sources but Nissan seem to have it tied up totally. I ended up paying through the nose the sum of £107 for a key. The bit of electronics attached can be worth no more than 20p. This is highway robbery on a scale never imagined even by Dick Turpin. Nissan needs to be hit with some sort of big stick for this type of behaviour. Oh well Frank

If you ever need a new key fob, which are equally expensive, you can find them on eBay. Obviously, that doesn't solve your problem today of obtaining a spare key for your vehicle.

Well, I've always bought Japanese for obvious reasons but I must say this is a very souring experience. I want to 'get back' at them for being such rogues. I wish I was more criminally inclined! Frank

I'm fixed up OK now. I didn't think of looking on ebay!!! Thanks.

Keyfobs on eBay are much cheaper and work perfect. The Nissan Primera key with the fob built into the key - the fob is on eBay as a "Tino" keyfob.

When mine went bad I picked one up for £5 which is a fraction of the Nissan dealer price.
