overpriced replacement key

I recently lost a key to my Montana, I figured I would just get a copy made at a hardware store, I forgot about the chip. I went to the dealership to get a new key made and with the key plus programming it I was looking at about $140 CDN, is this right???? plus on top of that another $150 for the new remote. I am getting a remote off e-bay.
Anybody out there with a better price or any suggestions where I can get a new key for a reasonable price that will not break the bank.

Thanks

eBay has those too. You didn't mention what year van is was, so just search for Montana Key on eBay and you will find them. Max price I saw was $20 USD.

Take care,

Thanks,
Ill have to check it out.
my vans a 1999, forest green- not the best colour but it'll do.
Take Care,

I just bought a "new" remote for $16 and a new transponder key for $16 on ebay for my Montana. Just go to ebay motors and search Montana
