1997 e 420
97 e420 ign switch all @#$%^* up

got 97 e 420 as part of a trade it ran but needed smog never took the key out cuz I only have one,,,, anyway part of the smog test they have to turn it off then start it ,,, well when the tech did it it would'nt start and the ignition switch fell apart it must have already been messed up... now the coil for the transponder is hanging by the wire, the lock cyl ( or what is left of it) is all loose and comes out and the plastic housing that attaches to the steering column is being held in place by a zip tie cuz the housing is all cracked...if i get everything all lined up I can crank the engine but no start... need some advice on what to do now .....it seemed like a good deal at the time.....
