Newbie here in search of a sanity check. Hope I landed in the right section.
My TL timing belt failed this week, bad situation all around. Mechanic replaced belt at 110k and I knew it needed to be done again but I pushed my luck and didnt prioritize getting the car back in for another TB. Car has 235k miles I bought it 8 years ago at 60k
Mechanic says cam shaft is stuck and new engine is only option.
should I really consider a new engine at this stage of the game, or just let her go?
other than the TB car is in pretty good shape. Needs a new axle maybe but everything else brakes tires good shape.
if I have to let her go is there anything I can do other than take it to the junk yard?
