Diesel engine failure: advice

It happens to be a 2013 diesel Cayenne, but it happens to all brands of diesels, apparently. It has 188,000 miles. The engine lost significant power so I took it to a Porsche dealer. They said the high pressure fuel pump failed, releasing metal shavings throughout the fuel system. It would cost $30K to repair, so the car is worthless now. Is there any known simpler fix? Anyone familiar with this?
