es300man Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Does anybody know where to get a Master key for a 1993 ES300? The dealer wants $250 for the key and programming. OUCH!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsohaib Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Look on ebay for keyword "Lexus Key", I got locked out once and the dealer in TX gave me the option of either getting a generic one for $65 or an original one for $150, I would suggest looking at ebay first.

adawnh Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I purchased a new key for my '97 ES300 through my local Toyota Dealership for $70. I do most of my work through them because it is the same as a Camry; I save money that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
es300man Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 I wondered about the Toyota dealer...you just got a additional copy, not a "master" key? Your year model is different, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adawnh Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 The key had to be ordered, using my VIN; it is one of those funky inverted keys so it cannot be copied. Yes, my car is a '97! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsohaib Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Usually they can put the VIN number in a machine and the machine makes the key. At least thats the way my dealer in Texas did, all I had to do was provide them with proof of ownership prior to them making me a key (I had lost mine), I wonder how they expected me to do that with the car locked and me having no keys, I showed them my name on previous service records that they had with my name but they would not agree!
