I think that's a fairly good price. I paid pretty much exactly that for my 2007 IS350 which was CPO, but it also had 56k miles. 18k miles on a 2007 is a very lightly-driven car.

Keep us updated on what you end up doing under warranty. Clock's ticking, if you haven't gotten to the dealer do it now!

They can, but it might just be better to take it to a Lexus dealer because:

1) It's only going to be one trip (since I assume you won't be taking it back to a Lexus dealer after it's out of warranty)
2) You're having quite a few things done at once, most if not all of which are very common 2IS problems, with which Lexus dealers specifically should be very familiar with
3) Potential buyers always look favorably upon a car that has had work done at the manufacturer's dealership

But if it's too much of a hassle yes, a Toyota dealership can perform the same work, as can any auto shop for that matter. As far as getting warranty claims processed and paid, it's easiest at a Lexus dealership.

Congrats. Get rid of those factory brake pads. I run on endless pads and there is no dust to speak of. Go aftermarket asap.
