I am in the same boat.
I don't understand why anyone would buy a used TPMS sensor. It will end up just having to be replaced again in a few years?? or am I missing something here?
I am up in Canada and they want to charge me $100 for a sensor installed as well.

If you're looking for the alternative method to this, check your tire pressure weekly until it really bothers you. Or...
Do you have a Discount Tire Co. store near you? If so, I would take your vehicle there as it would be less expensive and will be a one stop for you. Buy the sensor, let them install, configure and drive off. You would be looking around $60- $75 installed. FYI, no sensors come with a warranty and if you were to get a used set, be sure to use a TPMS scan tool(bring it to a dealer or DTC) to determine the battery life. Cheers!

This has been such a head ace its unbelievable, I went online and bought one sensor for my tire. I ended up getting a non OEM sensor which was unable to be programmed to the computer for lexus to detect it... I went to a shop called lex-tech and they were extremely nice and let me watch them do everything but they were unable to program the sensor since it was not a lexus part. So then i went to lexus and they said they wouldn't even touch it if it was not a lexus part... So now I have to find an OEM lexus tpms sensor thats new/used somewhere... I dont even know where to start looking.. And lex tech wanted to buy and install a lexus sensor for $100.

TPMS Replacement
I just had a sensor replaced at Pep Boys. They charged me $70 for the sensor and $20 for labor. Light on the dash is off and a $200 savings over what the dealer wanted.
