After the ignition switch is ripped out of an old car, is it pretty much worthless?
My youngest son has a 2001 Chrysler Sebring with about 116,000 miles on it. We have already spent a ton of money on it fixing things like the air conditioning, the power windows, new tires, struts, starter, alternator, battery, radiator, water pump, etc.
Last month, after the police recovered it, it’s pretty much trashed on the dashboard. The radio and other parts were removed. i’m thinking we could sell it as a fixer-upper for about $300 to a private party on craigslist. But my wife is thinking the junkyard is probably the best way to get rid of it.

@ScottR I have to admit that I was leaning more towards what @mysteryespresso said myself.
It doesn't look too bad for it's age, aside from the problem with the ignition - and my soon to be ex drove around starting a car with a screwdriver for almost a year (key snapped in the barrel) with no problem... even after that, he could still use it around private property.
So it could be worth looking into how much it might cost to get it repaired again.
