I have a terrible noise under the hood. Im told its the timing chain thats about to go. The vehicle is a second ride! My question is do you think its even worth fixing concidering the miles? Body and interior are VERY clean. Just alot of highway miles. If worth fixing ball park how much should it cost?

Looking at your vehicle itll be around a 2-3k job.

I would highly recommend shopping around prices can vary by up to two thousand dollars!

2000000 is kinda high, usually around that time its time for new piston rings, possible cylinder honings and other component changes.

If you have another reliable vehicle id go for that one.
