What Car? Q&A - Should I buy a second set of keys?

Q: Is it illegal for a dealer to sell me a car with only one set of keys? I am about to buy a used car but think it’s wrong that I am going to have to shell out for a second set.

A: No, it’s not illegal to sell a car with only one set of keys. However you should factor in the missing key into your negotiations so you're left with a little extra spare cash to cover the cost of replacing the key, or try asking the seller to sort it out for you before you buy.
