My daughter owns a 2001 Lexus RX300 and just lost her key. It's one with a transponder chip (I believe) and the fob part is at the top of the key. We called several dealers and they said without a spare they would have to replace the computer system on the car and that we would be looking at between $3000 and $5000! The car is only worth about $4500 (more to us because we know it and it's reliable). I also called many auto locksmiths that 1st said no problem but when I kept drilling the, realized they couldn't do it. So.... I will have to get her great running car towed to the junk yard if I cant find any way of getting around this. Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
