The cheapest locksmith in town that I have found is AJ's lock svc.
They will come out to where the car is (home/work/where ever) and cut a key. I have used them a few times. Aj's has great responce time (same day or next), they charge $90.00 to cut a key...this service includes two keys. (note: sometimes it takes the second cut to get the key right so you might just get one key) Most locksmiths charge $150.00-190.00 for this service.
AJ's lock svc. phone numbers are 614-286-6012 and 614-276-3522. They are open 24-7 so anytime you call is normally ok.
As far as the Maxima it had 100k miles (not terrible for an 88), no key, a few issues. But the car was fully loaded (minus leather seats) power everything, power sliding and flip sunroof, very clean light tan interior (as far as burn holes and bad stains), darker tan/brown exterior.
As far as what I had to fix and cost:
The cluth was not working (no pedal pressure). So I checked it out and found a disconnected line. Reconnected it, added some fluid, and bled it out. $3.99
Battery was dead, I tried recharging it and ended up buying a new one. $34.00 after core
One of the tires was trashed. Steve's used tires $22.00
The bumper was not on correctly. two bolts i had laying around. Free
Oil and filter $15.00.
A set wiper blades $14.00
$55 fee for title inspection.
Tow from the auction $50.
*** I forgot to let you guys know that you can not drive a car from the auction. (for first timers) You must have the car towed or trailered out of there.
