Need a Key Fob

I just came back from the dealer and they want $115 for a new key fob. Is it just me or does that seem a little high? Anyone know where I can get one for less?

OP seems to have a 98. I don't believe an 04 fob will work with a 98.

If you have a '98 get the FOB for the '00. It doesn't have the annoying passive feature and is cheaper.

The '01-'04 will not work with earlier cars.

I'm sure you can find a fob on the parts section here for cheap. I got mine for $30 on the parts section. (Ironic because I'd just sold the two from my totaled 02 before hand.)

Thanks for all the info. I hate the passive feature and would not miss it if it was gone. Will the 2000 work for sure? I read that 2000 and up would not work, I also saw the 2001 and up was the cut off.

If you have the old key fob theres numbers on the back match them up to the new key fob, be careful about buying used ones i purchased a used one for my 2000 with the correct part numbers and I couldn't get it to work
