    With 191000 mi on this car is it worth fixing or is it near the end of its life span?

    Hi first poster. P3006 means that the HV battery module voltages are uneven. While this is never a good thing, we should not start digging the grave yet.

    In particular I would like to know if special service campaign 40G has been performed previously on this vehicle. If you don't know, call a toyota shop with your VIN in hand and ask them.

    In general I would like to know as much about this vehicle's maintenance as possible, because the 'life span' question you asked can only be addressed with a heap of history.
