Question Immediate Help Needed! [Engine]

Anyone have any suggestions of how to handle this situation - I've got 5 gallons of diesel fuel in my IS300 along with the rest being the preferred gasoline. Lexus wants $710 to flush it out and replace whatever parts. I'm trying to go about this the least expensive way and in need of immediate recommendations as the vehicle is sitting in the shop right now, got a loaner currently and can't let it sit for too long...? HELP!

Didn't you call me? I quoted you way less than that to fix the problem. Oh well. Good luck.
