"Lexus tells me that in order to get new master keys made I need to change the whole computer plus order two master keys. This is at a big cost, over $2,000.00."

This is ridiculous. On a Ford, they take your VIN number, make the key off that, and it doesn't cost anywhere near $2000. This sounds like a Lexus rip-off.

Wow, that is a lot of money. I bought my 2000 RX300 used, and it only came with one master. I had to pay over 300 for another master and a valet. Today, one of my masters broke, so until I save some money, I am glad that I did get the 2nd master. I read online, not to superglue; it could mess up the insides. I also read online different ways to do it without gluing on the inside.

All in all, it has been an excellent car, even though it is now 12 years old (I have had it since 2004).
