this a reasonable price?  How long will I be able to
drive the car with a catalytic converter needed?

Ken, you should get the exact code(s) from the dealer then Google them. Not that I don't trust them, but.....  If the cat is clogged, I would think you'd have experienced some performance issues or maybe some rattling if the inside material has disintegrated....
