06 Cobalt worth with bad motor?

Hey everyone, I have a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS supercharged, 125k miles, body is in good shape, never driven in winter. Interior is fair, normal wear.

Motor is bad, rod broke and tore **** up according to my mechanic. Long story, overheated.

ZZP head is still good (installed post overheat) , supercharger, etc.

Car never overheated again after radiator and head replaced.

I don't feel like (or have) putting the money into it to swap. But if someone wanted to swap it, they'd have a nice little car.

What do you think I could sell it for with a bad motor?

3k on a good day. It's a blown up old car with a fair amount of miles.

The paint was also ****, and the rotors on all 4 corners where ****, and the interior isn't the best.
