Hey guys! Hope everyone’s doing well.

I recently sold my 98 c230 to a gentleman in Tennessee. When I bought the car I only got one key for the ignition. To make matters worse it did not have the slide out metal key inside of it. It had been lost along time ago. Along with all the spare keys. I was nervous for the six months that I own the car And thought I should probably try and get an extra key made but never did

I sold the car and all has been fine and dandy until he has now lost the only key to the car. He is texting me in a fit telling me he cannot get a key made for the car. I have zero experience with this. What should I tell him to do? Just tow it to the Mercedes dealer and pay through the nose? Or is there another good alternative? Thanks so much in advance.

Joe
