if it is the starter, you can try it rebuilt it instead of paying lexus replacing a new one for over 800 dollar(parts and labor)... I did it to my LX470, only cost me 10 dollar and 5 hours of work.. 
note, the starter is right under the manifold, you need to take off a lot of stuff to get to it, that's why people charging a fortune on labor...
good luck,.

It was just loose and dirty battery connectors the dealer cleaned and tightened them, gave me Krispy Kreme and sent me out for a weekend in a '05 RX ... But upon further inspection they said i need to have my front lower ball joints replaced (I'm searchin what this is now) for 700 bucks...I guess if it aint one thing its another
