Ummm....

You might want to see if the starter motor has been replaced...

I am not 100% positive, but I think that year is one of the years where the starter motor is actually inside the engine and replacing it is a total PITA involving removal of all coolant, accessories, wiring, and the intake manifold. Dealership replacement in the $1000+ range.

Lexus cars are very durable and reliable, but some design choices are... interesting. Ask about what to look for in the lexus forums.
