Hey guys I really need to buy a spare key, I only have 1 key right now and I am really bad about misplacing them and I know its going to be extremely expensive if I lose it and have to go to the dealer to get a new one made.

Where do you guys suggest buying a key online and then taking it to a good locksmith who can then engrave the key?

Again sorry for the dumb questions but I am new to Lexus and this is my first one but I am very intrigued to learn all about them plus my buddy just bought the same car so I am relaying all of the information that you guys give to me. Its very appreciated!!!!!

Go to the dealer, bring your Registration. It's like $15, and they make it from the computer.

Sweet man thanks for the info, I would have never thought of going to the dealer for anything I have always thought that it would be too expensive!!! Much appreciated on the help, if anyone else has any other ideas that would be great!!!

I'll stick to saying only do it at the dealer, lol. If you make a copy of a worn out key, it may not work right. The Toyota dealer charges about $12 for the key, and the ES300 that year had the same keys. So I say $15 since the Lexus dealer will be a bit more.

I should mention, the OWNER of the car is the only one that can have the key made. Thats why I said bring your registration, as long as it;s your name on it (as opposed to a parent or spouse). It only takes around 5-10 minutes for them to make the key and have you out.
