(for a 2003 FX35 with remote + chipped key (not the proximity one))

Has anyone purchased the Key and remote off of e-bay for a spare?

I called around locally and the locksmith quoted $200.00 for key and remote - includes programming remote and cutting the key - they provide both.
(Dealer wanted $400.00 - out of the question)

I found a key + remote on e-bay that states specifically for a 03 FX35 - around $40.00.
The locksmith would charge $50 to cut the key, and I guess I can re-program the remote myself with the included instructions - which this would be the cheaper option at $90.00 Total.

Any one tried these?
 
Ebay Replacement Keys

I just got one of those remote/key replacement deals off ebay for $40.00. Only problem is it's the intelligent key so I still need to get it programmed at the dealer. Of course the dealer quoted me $380.00 and said he'd have no problem programming a key that I brought to him for $100.00. It just ain't getting any easier is it?
 
ebay keys and remotes works great and they are a lot of cheaper than dealer ask for them.. There is a lot of local body shops that they have their own programmers with special tools for key programming. Couple of my friends have Consult so they dont charge me much for that service :)
