There are a lot of possible courses to take. I don't think that any of our advice will matter much. It's more about your particular aspirations and aptitude.

Being free and clear of it and having the money is a great option if you don't want to deal with it any more, and don't have space to temporarily keep a wrecked car. Shop for a nicer 986, or move the money on to the next good thing.

In most cases you are not going to get a 'run and drive' 986 for under $2000 in an auction, especially after fees.

Retaining the car I see two options that would work for me: Pull the engine and transmission, then sell the roller. (You can never have too many engines and transmissions) Buy another similar car.
Fix it enough to be a good driver, but not back to perfect and enjoy it with less worry about door dings and foul weather drives.
