Default Replacement key fob on 99 LS

Anyone have to purchase a new key fob and get it cut?

The dealer at Woodfield Lexus in Schaumburg, IL told me that it would cost me $250 for a new key to get cut because they have to get the part. However, I've seen many keys on eBay for a little over $100 that just needs to be cut.

Can anyone please advise on my options? Thanks!

$250 from a dealer isnt bad. Considering the key would need to be programmed to work with the car. A reputable locksmith could cut and program the key if you got one from ebay.
