Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 2001 Volvo S80 with about 200,000 miles and it died on me while driving. The battery is about 6 months old. The shop I took it to said the timing chain sliped and might have caused damage to the piston and head. Does this seem resonable as the cause? They quoted me about $4500 to fix it. I’m thinking a used engine for about $3000 with half as many miles would be a better idea. Any thoughts?
