depends on what year/model your car is,if its a commodore from about 89 onwards they can be a hassle,if its older,could be able to do something cheap

The ignition barrell is reasonably straightforward to replace IF the key can still be turned, from memory around $200ish for a new barrell fitted

I am a Locksmith. This is a common problem with Holdens. Any actual locksmith should be able to replace your ignition easily. As for price, the ignition is about $100, they will charge you to make it match your key (this is not optional) $20-40, and labour & mileage at their standard rate. Lost count of how many of these I woulda done.

So $300ish all up! Not worth selling your car over. Otherwise you'll have to sell it when the tyres go bald, or it runs out of fuel.
