Question $110 for a key?!?!

So my evo only came with one key, and after finding out home depot couldn't make me a new one, because of the chip, I went to tempe, az mitsubishi. They want $65 for the key and a "one time" $45 key programming fee. Please tell me that they're trying to scam me, as I wanted to see if this was the norm before dropping my hard-earned mod money on a damn car key.

Should cost no more than $40. Programming the key is a different story since you only have one key.
