if you have both parts, some places can still copy it. idk where, but i know some can. otherwise, your going to have to spend some money. you'll have to either tow the car, or have them come to you.

your gonna have to show proof of ownership blah blah, and they'll be able to make you a key. i forget how exactly they do it, i believe by making a mold of your lock.

Or you can find any 240 key, and they'll re-key your locks, and i THINK they can do the ignition too.

I still have both pieces n they still fit as one. Do think walmart or home depot can do it?

try home depot. I was in that predicament a couple months ago for my 90 mx6. Key snapped in half, went to the dealership to get a new one cut but the ignition was changed so it didnt work. I started looking for a locksmith but stopped at home depot on the way and asked if they can try to cut a key with what I had and it worked. $1.59

ha, my family owns a locksmithing business, and yes, you can get another one made without needing the key, just on the ingintion, and if the doors are the same, then you can use your door locks
