The car has 140,000 miles on it, and I really can’t afford to replace it, especially with current used car prices.

Hi Mendel - Do you know if similar issues apply to Toyota Avalon hybrids? I am facing this recommendation (leaking timing cover replacement) on my 2014 Avalon hybrid for over $2800 US.
