The dealership I chose is also throwing in the oil change, which I understand is at dealer discretion to do or not, and selling the smart key (extra key), for less than the other 2 dealerships quoted. So im driving 60 miles to save a few bucks is what it boils down to. I don't mind however since I will be in their loaner car for 3 days. The overall package of what they are offering to me justifies driving a bit further and paying a bit extra for the plugs.

I know it's an old thread, but here's a pro-tip: If you bring it in for an engine recall, like the latest fuel system issue, you might be able to get them to do the plugs for cheap. I just had mine done for like $250 while they were doing the recall. I also checked with my local independent Lexus mechanic and he quoted me $310. Either way, it seems like a lot of cash for a simple plug change. Ran mine to 90K before changing. I think the engine might be idling a bit smoother now, and gas mileage might be up a tic, but nothing radical.
