Update: I couldn't bring myself to send the Cayenne to the junkyard for their offer of $2500. Instead, I finally found a mechanic who works out of his house who agreed to do an engine swap. We found a wrecked 2013 in LA with 90,000 miles on it and bought the engine for $5K. The mechanic did the engine swap for $3500.
It's been running great for 2 months now. The old engine had 190,000 miles on it, so I essentially have a fairly low miles car now. I think I did the right thing. Hopefully, it'll last a long time.
