Unless the engine block(i hope that's what they call it) is cracked or the cylinder damaged everything is changeable. So there is no freakin way you need a new engine, only in that case.
As far as i know the chain tenssioner is hydraulic, and maybe it allows the chain to jump off completely, althought i doubt it.
Anyway even if you are unlucky to have the timing chain issue the common things damaged are some valves, you change them, offcourse preparation of the cylinder head is required and you are ready to flow along with your car. So i can bet a hand that it won't cost you that price unless the dealer quotes astronomical prices for labor.
Investigate the real problem and try garages that know how to fix the parts damaged, not only drop in a damn engine.
Sorry for my english.
