How to handle a junk car?

So the lad goes and has a minor crash in a vehicle that was worth $500 to begin with -- a 2000 Neon in the worst possible shape.

including a hatchet hole in the hood where his baby mama tried to kill the car, and many minor dings, scratches and dents, many made in various states of DUI before he came to understand that they really don't like it when you DUI

I think it has like 175K on it. So when he bent the frame, bent the hood in half, killed the radiator, broke a few fluid-containing plastic bits and crunched the headlight and turn light, that should be all on this one, it's uninsured for collision anyway, let's call it in.

But does it have remaining value as a parts car? The engine itself is fine, and pretty clean. This thing can't just be worth the price to tow it away, can it? I see stickers in the bad sections of the city, saying "junk cars $200"??
