Lost Spare Key for CT200 - Options

[HornettM]

Hi All

I rather stupidly left my spare key somewhere when on holiday so went to order a new one from Lexus to collect when my 2014 CT200 is in for its next service. The quote was £500 for a new key which to me seems beyond ridiculous as a new key for my BMW was less than half this amount, and lets be honest BMW are not known for their parts being cheap! So my question is what alternatives do I have - does anyone know how easy it would be to get a perhaps secondhand unit and have that coded to the car? Or if I want a spare key am I going to have to pay Lexus this extortionate amount for the privilege, thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Timpsons do them for modern cars, you find them at most out of town supermarkets these days,  give them a try.
