Called my local dealer about getting a key cut for the 73 280SEL and the 79 6.9.

This is what they want.
1. Me to go there
2. Bring my Title and Drivers license
3. Pay them $35 / key
4. Go home for a couple of days
5. Come back when the key arrives
6. Bring my Title and drivers license
7. Collect the key.

For a start, $35/key is highway robbery for a non security key but to add to this....
Having to go there in person twice to get the key is just stupid. Why not just call it in, pay for it and then turn up with your title when its time to collect. It's already paid for so its not like they lost out on selling a $35 key if I turn don't have a title.
