For a new key I'd expect any dealer to charge 50-60 bucks, that's 1/2 hour labor depending what they get as their hourly rate (generally, 100, 110, or 120 bucks).
for a used one I'd expect 100-120 since a full reset (required for a used key) takes more time.

I bought a used fob from ebay for 60 bucks, took it to the dealer along with my key fob for programming and they told me that they couldn't re-program a previously programmed fob. I looked at them like WTF.

You can order factory brand new Lexus remote smart keys from: www.autotransponder.com. My Lexus dealer wanted $250.00 for a key, I bought a factory new one for $97.00 including shipping. I will have to take it to a key shop that can cut the back up key inside. Be careful buying one on Ebay, for the cut key will not fit your car. I am searching to find out how to program the smart key. Found instructions for a 2004 LS430, but mine is a 2005 LS430. Not sure if it will work. I hate to pay the dealer $60.00 for something that will take less than 5 minute tops!
