Oil light on at idle. Goes away after 900 RPM. Shut down for good. Called scion roadside assistance.
I wouldn't let any untrained mechanic replace cam gears!

I would also have refused what you were offered after a catastrophic engine failure. Is there anything they could have offered you which would have made you keep the car?
