So I bought a used key off ebay. I got it for about $50.00 and I think I got a great deal. I'm at Longo Lexus (S. California) as I am typing this thread on one of their computers and the service rep. is charging $115.00 to reprogram. Ive read in some of the posts here some are paying $25-50. Can someone help confirm if I'm getting ripped off?

one person said it was about 55 bucks.
another said "nope they going to charge you full price ... mine was 45"
another- lexus dealership .. i called toyota they were charging 88 bucks im like wtf...
and another-So then I called the place i currently take my car for service and was given a straight up answer... 49 bucks... gosh im happy i changed

so all in all, dont pay over 50 bucks.

 

I just had this done. First I called the Toyota dealership since there's not a Lexus dealership near me. They quoted me $115, which is ridiculous. I called Lexus of Mobile and they said just stop by any time and they'd do it for free. Pretty good considering I didn't even buy they key from them. Took less than 10 minutes.

 

I call all lexus dealer in orange county non of these dealer will charge you less than $50. I brought used key. Newport lexus quote me $65 for programe. when i get there. they are trying to charge me $130 since this is used key. they though it is new key. gosh. if i got a new key from lexus dealer why do i programe the key separately????? so i didn't do it. the key still sitting in my table. Looking for a place where will charge me cheaper.

 

It's even more ridiculous at Cerritos Lexus. Something like $250 for a new key and $115 for programming the key.

 

When u buy the car, dont they give you like a little peice of metal and has ur combination engraved in it? Isn't that supposed to be used to program your remote?

I was asking cause maybe you can have someone on the boards go and get ur key programmed with that little piece of metal for cheap and they can send it back to you?
