Actually, my dad is buying it for me as a gift. I spent the past two-and-a-half years taking care of my increasingly ill mother, and she passed away (last week) barely 15 days after the doctors accidentally discovered she had very advanced cancer (stage 4 of the secondary kind, no knowing where the hell the primary cancer was). Anyway, my father has come to see just how intently I had been caring for my mom, and now that I have a new job, I truly need another car. So he is buying me one this week, and even paying for the first year's insurance on it. It's a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am.
Now I realize Piontiac no longer exists. But I can't look a gift horse in the mouth. So if this is what he's buying me, so be it. Meanwhile, the car has only a key, but without the keyless entry thingy. And I would really like one of those. I mentioned it to the car dealer, and he brushed it off by saying "Oh you can pick up one of those anywhere." And then I mentioned it to my dad, and he said "You don't need one of those." But I really really want one.
So ...
How hard is it to get a keyless entry after you have bought a car from a used car lot?
How much does one cost?
And how likely am I to find one now that Ponitac is no more?
