Go to a better dealer, that is one heck of a mark up.

Or give Phil a call he can probably order them for you.

Your house lock has brass pin tumblers. Your M-B lock has steel disk tumblers. A brass key will leave wharf in the steel disk tumbler lock, eventually rendering it useless.

Damn, you've got a dud dealer! $60! SOB!

I got a master key cut at the dealer for ±$20 (using vin #). It fit all doors, but not ignition - so at some point, someone changed the tumbler on my 82 TD wagon.

I guess I have no alternative than to copy the extremely worn single ignition key I have!

Thumbs up W123 key

I went to a locksmith (Dedges Lock and Key in Jacksonville, FL) for a
duplicate key. Guess any locksmith would work fine.

I got a steel Ilco MB 41-P. Has the black rubber covering.

Works perfect on my 85 300DT and was less than $5
