The electronic part of the ignition switch is a common issue. VW part (same) is about $12. Still, it's a mess and an overheated M96 engine will likely never be right again. There may be $800 of parts there, but wouldn't be worth the effort unless you need them for yourself.  It's "Pending" now.

I don't see it as pending

I don't see pending anymore.  Someone probably backed out.

Edit... I found that I still had that browser open on my computer. The seller has done some good updates (pictures) to the ad since then. $750 now.. Screenshot of the old version:

Man, 4.5 hours away....I'm glad.  I'd bite for $500

The transmission may be worth about $1,000 but is high mile. The Immobilizer box plus key plus Engine computer is worth about $750. Even scrappy headlights sell for a few hundred. Brake calipers $$$...

If it wasn't a tiptronic and the top was better I'd be more interested in it.

I wasn't referring to the cost of the ignition. I was noting that damaged ignitions are often a sign of theft cars.
