Looking at purchasing a 2018 GTS 300 from my neighbor.

Can someone tell me which keys are supposed to come with it? I know the master/brown key. And maybe a blue spare key. Does the seat storage have a different key or the same as ignition?

One blue key and one brown key. If the neighbor doesn't have a brown key, walk away.

The seat opens electronically if the key is turned in the ignition. It's not a separate lock. There might be a top case lock (if it has a top case) but the chances of this being the same key as the ignition are almost zero.

In addition, the top case lock keys are generally black.

But no brown key? Pass or offer about 1k less than asking.

You want brown key, blue key, mayyybe another blue, black if it has a top case and then, most importantly service history!

Good luck!

Thank you for the quick response. He's got the brown key but no other keys. No top case. I'll just have to order a spare and program it.

Yep. With the brown key you can program a new blue key. See: ALL: Programming New Keys

My 2018 came with some sort of keyless entry fob in addition to the blue and brown keys. The brown key is the most important item, though.
