Debbie, those prices seem very high. Also, I would start with what you know needs to be replaced and then only replace parts after that when cleaning didn't help. For the 97 there were two versions of the canister and vent control valve depending on mfg date. The older version is much more expensive than the newer version. But if you replace both the canister and valve together you can use the newer version. These part #s are:
Canister 149501S718 $59.87
Vent Control Valve 1493554U04 $24.19
Those were the prices when I ordered them from everythingnissan.com last year. Your canister is located behind your driver's side rear wheel and will need quite a bit of penetrating oil on the bolts to get it off. I'd go with those parts first, blow out the lines and clean the other EVAP parts, then see where you're at with any error codes.
Also you seriously might want to consider another dealer service dept. or independent mechanic. From the comments you've gotten about junking your car and $600 in parts for this well known problem I would not trust them.
