Wanted to thank everyone for advice with my key problem. My friend who has a 1994 9000 Aero with over 300,000 got the key to turn my tapping on the lock cylinder with a hammer. I have 2 keys and the older key doesn't work now, but the newer key (that I never use), works in one direction. The tumblers must be worn. I think I still need to get a new lock cylinder to match my keys, but at least now it works.
Will be carrying hammer with me in car for now on. Thanks again for advice. I have been spared a tow to dealer and more anxiety.
