When did car keys get to be $150-$250

Picked up a 2013 Mazda, great car but the guy hands me the key...
Me: "Uh, is that the only key?"
Him: "Uh, yeah..."

And yeah... I knew I was screwed (new key would be $$$) but what are you going to do, you buy a used car and you know there will be issues, and if only one key is the worst than I'm okay with that.

So the key "was" one of the flip out key/remote fob combos... remote works but "flip out key" had been broken off so they cut a simple key and we are using the broken remote (that works but looks wonky).

Anyone have a connection with a Mazda dealer that can get me a deal? (everything I read says only a dealer can cut/program a new key fob)

TIA
