I have a 1993 Mazda 626 and the key broke?

Question

The key isn't chipped so its just a standard key; but it opened the doors and started the vehicle. I need a replacement. Where should I go, and how much should it cost?

Sidenote:
I bought the car two days ago. The title isn't transferred and I don't have insurance yet, but I was told by a locksmith that if I talked to the owner and got a picture of his ID from him he could make the key... For $150. But that doesn't sound right considering it is a STANDARD KEY. The current owner/person who is registered on the car is willing to cooperate with what I need. 

Its Sunday and I can't talk to the DMV or a dealership or a hardware store. Just looking for information before then.

Answer

He wants a big price because he thinks you have a stolen car there. If you know somebody who has a collection of old keys, any key that fits into the slot has a fair chance of working the lock. That is because there aren't very many different ways to make a key. Get the title and a new key should cost less than ten bux, and any key shop can make one.
