£10 to £25 for Jaguar clones on eBay. Never bought a Jag one but the
ones that I have for other cars have been indistinguishable to my eye.

If you loose a Porsche one, I'm told it's £400+ for a replacment. Of
course they don't actually make it - it comes from a supplier that does
lots of makes.
The main cost is likely labour in coding it. Which isn't usually needed
again with a broken one.

The case on mine was broken (push button cover). A new case looked
identical to the old one, and cost about £20 on Ebay. It came with a new
blank blade - but swapping the old one was easy.
