Ford Fiesta Zetec Only 1 Key!

Hi, hoping someone can help me. I am due to pick up a car tomorrow which I have left a deposit to buy. I have now discovered the vehicle only has one key as the previous owner can't find the other key. The car is a ford fiesta zetec on an 03 plate. It has central locking but no remote central locking. I wondered if I will be able to get another key cut? I've heard people talking about only being able to get a key cut which works the immobiliser, if you have two keys, is that correct?

Any help asap would be appreciated!

    Cant be of much help apart from that I believe that it is around £100 to get a key cut. Try to get some money knocked off?

    from our dealership you would be looking at £17 plus vat for the key and the another £75 plus vat to code it to the car

    My car also only came with one key. I just know to pick up something heavy and aim it at the rear window.

    You would have to have the key coded I believe and it can be pricey. Have a check and see if it would be cheaper to change the locks/barrels.

    You can go to the dealer and pay approx £120 for a working key or £190 for a working key with remote.

    We, as do others charge about £50 or £110 with remote. You dont have to go to the dealer.
