The dealer should have been able to tell you how expensive the deal plus labor is. It is likely not cheap to replace because of the extensive work involved in changing it.

As far as the vehicle being rough? The AWD model IS250 is known to be harsher... Did you road test the car prior to purchasing it? Compare it to a rear wheel drive model and you will see the difference.
