I though about DIY with Lexus parts, then I decided to have the dealer do it.
So over the weekend, my local Lexus completed the job with out the door price $1,780
here is the brake donw:
timing belt, water pump, drive belt, new thermostat, coolant
I think price is reasonable, got a loaner for a day. Also knowing if I DIY, probably a few days work.

You can do this. I did it, and I am 83 years old. After watching "The Car Care Nut" video on the 600,000 mile LS430 restoration, I knew I could do it. My only worry was if my back would hold out till I could get it done. It's a lot of work and it's all stoop labor. It's not hard, and remembering where everything goes is not easy. I started by taking a 650mg Tylenol before my back ever began talking to me. I used the Aisin TKT-021 kit. That's what "The Car Care Nut" used, and he made this job look super easy. It took me a day and a half, but I got it done and I saved a lot of money.
