From the advice in another post I plugged in the VIN, of the 08 IS F I'm considering, on the lexus owners site to see all maintenance records. It has about 85k miles. I'm a little concerned about maintenance on it and may talk to them about the extended warranty.

Here's what I see that causes concern. It was just traded in and hasn't been detailed and put on the lot yet. Could this be valley plate, waterpump, headgasket? I want to know what my options are before I talk to the dealership again. They didn't tell me about this issue when I was there yesterday. Looks like it still needs some work before they try and sell it.

This definitely sounds like the valley plate leak. What mileage was this at?

This note is from yesterday at the current mileage 84,xxx.

Scheduling a time to go in and look at it with their "IS F technician".

That's where I place my bet is the valley plate leak unfortunately

Is there more than one way to fix the valley plate issue? I'm fairly new to the IS F and want to make sure they don't just slap a quick fix and not address the real problem?

No such thing as a quick fix unless they put some stop leak compound into the coolant and cross their fingers.
