Quick question about lost key help plz

Wassup everyone just picked up a 99 GS4 at the auction and it only came with that valet key. Was just wondering if anyone knows of the top of their head the cheapest it would be to create a master key since I don't have one? Thanks I attached a pic of the key it came with

LOL you guys are funny. But that was the only issue I was confused about not where to get it just if it needs anything extra since all I have is the valet key but your saying I cAn buy a empty shell and just have them program it from my valet key

If you had a master you could do it yourself...however since you only have the valet, the dealership(or someone else with the capability) has to program it. They can't program from the valet key.

be quiet dude.... we already have enough of you noobs making claims out your butt. most of us know the cost of dealers for things, like the guy up front, if you do side work and they write that off of your price, that ISNT your price. you got that price for doing some other work so you essentially traded off and honestly i would be shocked to see a lexus dealership do this unless the mechanic paid the difference. i have had my GS for almost 8 years now. i see enough of you people come and go who talk out your butt. im not saying he is lying but if your gonna make a claim like that, be able to back it up......not to mention im not far from that dealership and i hate my local dealership
