Default Axle advice please!

Took my awd IS250 to the dealership today for my oil change and my warranty check up and what not, and decided to inquire about some parts while I was there because I knew some things were needing to be replaced. One being the passenger side front axle...I've known for a while it's been bad and I don't know if you've tried to get them from a parts store but they don't carry them at all. Anyway, I knew it would be expensive since it was coming from the dealership, but they told me it would be $1100. For one axle!!!! WHAT!!! Do they make any aftermarket front axles? Any suggestions? I asked if I could just buy the boot instead but he said it'd still be $550 just for that! Ridiculous. Advice, please!

Your only other option is second-hand ones from a parts yard. You familiar with LKQ? Where in SC are you?

Oh, well then you should have several yards around the city. Maybe not just LKQ, but check the web.
