Unfortunately, $200 is about what it will cost you! You can find uncut remote keys on ebay for maybe $100 from time to time, however, they need to be both cut and programmed into the car (transponder chip and remote control). Non-remote control keys are fairly inexpensive at some locksmiths (perhaps in the range of $75) if you can find a locksmith so equipped. You can also find cut used keys on ebay for as little as $10, but they are virtually useless.
On another key subject, the gold "L" logo on my remote keys has worn down and they look horrible. I was told by someone that there was a stainless steel inlay product sold by some aftermarket accessory company that replaces the gold "L" logo on Lexus keys. Does anyone know about this and who sells them?
