2003 LS 430, CD Player displays CD ERROR...Will not eject or load...All other AM/FM audio works...
Dealer Part, quotes $750. for a dealer exchange part??? Is it possible to replace just the CD player?

You might want to look at buying a used one, places like Ebay or salvage yards are good places to look. Here's an ad I found:

Then either DIY or pay a stereo shop a few bucks to install. Or see some aftermarket options.

My cd player gave me problems for years before I had it repaired. It would not always eject discs, and it did not like to have more than one disc inserted at a time. Turns out that there are sensors in the cd player that monitor the location of the discs, and several of those sensors were bad.
I was referred to this repair shop by my local Mercedes dealership. He has repaired a Becker radio for me as well as my ML cd player with great results. The cd player repair cost around $125.
