Default Ignition key replacement

Hi. The ignition key for my 300 SC keeps falling apart. I tried using epoxy but that only lasted a month.
Is there anyway to replace it besides the $300 dealer option?
I really don't need the electronic options, just an ignition key.
Thanks,
Joe

I got mine from dealer for $55 without the electronics. Just have to use key in door rather than keyless.

An aftermarket (Ilco) key from my local lexus dealer was 15 bucks. It doesnt have the remote or a gold "L" on it but it works fine. that included cutting. Check out ebay as well, you can get some generic blanks for next to nothing. you would just need to find a locksmith with the special machine to cut them.
