I think I paid $70 for the chain and it's a 3 or 4 hour job at most - rolling it in.
Unless your chain guides are worn I wouldn't do the full monty, but you need to determine whether the noise is from timing balance chain or both. If balance chain you shoulda have them cut it when pan was out. Also inspect the cam sprockets for excessive wear - but you also should have had the chain tensioner removed and taken the reading to know how much your chain has worn.
But if the $ 1000 price includes chains guides etc and you want to keep the car forever that's probably not a bad price but nothing I'd even consider spending on a car with that mileage. I rolled a new one in myself on my 1999 and car just kept on chugging along.
