If i was to bring my own uncut Lexus key to a dealer to make a copy of my old key would it be cheaper if i did this?

i have same problem, i only have one key to my lex, master key

Quick question, how much is a master key with the remote from Lexus? I received two keys when I bought my car, but the button is broken on the master key.

My last vehicle was a Mercedes, and the dealer sold them for $140 a piece. Guess I'm just curious.

i think it was like 60 sumthing here

be careful. i got mine cut and i bought my own key they told me no guarantees with your own key.. they cut it for $50 bucks and it didnt work. i lost money and stil no spare key =(

(i think they just didnt cut it right as the lengths/widths are correct)

wow. the local lexus dealer wants to charge like 350 or somthing like that and i just freaked out...lol

Yeah, thats right. The guy at the local Lexus dealership said, if you buy one its 300, but if you buy 2, i will give a 100 dollars off the second one. So I did that, then when I went to pick them up, he wanted a hundred more dollars to put in the new chip in the passenger side rear panel. It just snaps in. I told him he was crazy as hell. I would do it.

do Sc's need a chip for the key?
mine is a 93

got mine on ebay $16 i think? had the locksmith cut it.done no chip needed,1995 sc400

I paid less than $50 on sewell for a non remote master key already cut for my 97 SC3.

Got mine for $20 at local locksmith including key and cut. No transponder in key. I got a 93 SC400.

the key is laser cut isnt it?

yeah i'm always having places tell me they can't cut it cause it's a laser cut key? how are lock smiths doing it for you guys? just grinding it?

i went to a local dealer and they charged me like 40 something dollars, all i did was show them my registration and ID and they gave me a key cut it without using the master key

wth? well...i dont really like my local dealer because they always lok at me funny when i go in there. maybe theyre jealous...
