I paid 40 for a non matching ignition that came with two keys. This may or may not bother you, but since my chevy van has the same arrangement, hasn't bother me yet!
The dealer quoted for me over 100 dollars and a long wait.

Thx, dropnosky!
I've learned a few things since. In my case the likely cause was a worn part on the steering lock (not the cylinder), and a slightly modified key would've probably solved the stuck key problem. I've replaced the lock (the T-shaped mechanism), list $194, paid a little bit less, and ordered a car-matching cylinder from the dealer ($102 or $109, one key only, addtl $24, no discount if ordered together; Friday, pickup Tuesday). With my fingers crossed, I installed the old cylinder back, as I was tired of using a screwdriver to start the car. I took some pix, but I plan to take more and possibly start another thread documenting what I think may be way to unlock the steering or maybe offer it as a service :-) R's, Aleš
