Default No Spare KEY??!!

I bought my newage impreza from an independent dealer and collected the car last week.

Upon collection, the dealer said he didnt have the spare key on him, but would be getting it for my within the next couple of days.
Ok, I thought.

Well he called me yesterday, and said he had a set of keys, but wasnt sure if it was the right one because "apparently" he has five other Subarus just come in.
How can a dealer get a set of keys mixed up???!?!

He said if it aint the right one, he will pay for another one to be made up for me.

But that is not my concern, my concern is knowing someone out there might have the keys to my ride.

What are your views on this? Also, anyone else bought a car and not had the spares before?

key was coded i had them both changed to a new number.

SOunds a familiar story....


My ex bought his scooby from a main dealer in North Wales, was only given one key and fob etc, so he questioned it at the time, they said they would get back to him when they checked the office, heard nothing, so he rung several times for them to keep telling him it must have been *misplaced* According to them, the son of the owner of the garage owned the car previously and may still have the key

Tell him if he doesn't get it to you asap you will be billing him the hundred quid for a new key/coding.
