instead of replacing the whole driveshaft, have you tried asking your mech whether it is possible to use the driveshaft repair kit only.. should be cheaper.. (and since your car no longer under warranty, forget SC. Go to cherry tree workshop - should be a lot cheaper)

For me once your car warranty ended, better go to independent workshop that you can trust. Sometimes Service Center tend to choose the easy "way out" by replacing whole thing rather than doing the actual repair. Why ? because it's saves their time and more profitable. It's not just toyota, I also face the same crappy policy from Volvo and Land Rover.

Having said that, make sure your choose competent independent workshop.

My Mileage is nearly 80k and no accident before but i think this model of car is not really tough enough but comfortable to sit!

Have you ever heard of kedai potong? This kedai potong can supply 2nd hand spare parts with 1/10 of the brandnew price.
