Depends where you go, but ballpark figure is $500. Make a few calls.

Replacing a timing belt and water pump, t-stat, etc, is something
any properly trained mechanic can do in any shop, anywhere.

Unless the water pump is hooked up to some sophisticated Lexus
automobile main computer to automatically regulate the flow
of water based on the driver's previous driving habits, stored in
a $1600 chip.

And you need to step on the accelerator and the brake pedals
a certain number of times within a certain timeframe
with the glove-compartment door and the trunk open
before the Lexus computer will disarm itself and let you work on
the t-stat, or something like that.

An that information is readily available in the paper and CD-ROM based
service manuals for anyone who cares to look.
