Lost 91 Keys
First off i would like to start off and say i don't own a lexus yet.. i am an inspiring lexus owner..
but anywho. i have been searching and looking for the info on this and come up with multiple conflicting answers. I am looking at buying a 1991 Lexus LS400 but the owner said he lost the keys. from what i have found searching via google is that you either have to go to a locksmith and get it cut, or go to lexus with your title and ID to get them to cut you a key.. also seen people saying the 91 didn't have the immobilizer or transponder so just get a non transponder key cut and you're golden. have also seen people saying you need a new key and a new ecu so its in registration mode. So i kinda want to sort this out if the 91 really has a immobilizer or if i can just buy a key and have it laser cut. |
Go to the dealer with the vin. The 91 doesn't have a transponder. Only thing is you wont have keyless entry.

Just bring proof of ownership to dealership and they can cut you new ones for $50.00. I think if you want new ones with the chip to work the keyless entry they run close to 300.00 with clublexus discount.

I recommend passing on this car if the owner isn't willing to spend his own money to get just one key. Sounds fishy.

He probably also lost the title papers too. :thumbdn: That car has you in a spot, no way to verify if it will run and no test drive either. Tell him you "lost interest."

^^^ plus one on that..

Unless the price is less than I could sell it to a salvage, I wouldn't buy that car.
