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.

sell it on graigs list ask 450 those cars were junk when new im sure the water pump was very expensive i hate working on them bad engines
@olderuncle944 Would it be worth doing the ignition first, though???

I'm thinking that it might be worth more intact... 🤔

@olderuncle944 Yes. Our previous mechanic (now retired) said working on the engine was hard. It’s not designed well.

@ScottR if you can fix the ignition cheap then its worth fixing i know where there are several of those same cars in nc all with bad engines reason was poor oil pump design pumps were weak and oil pans too small
