The ignition in my 1998 Chevy Cavalier keeps sticking. It seems like there is a locking system in the ignition. I have called around and it seems like I will have to fix the ignition and the parts to fix it can run $3-500.00. Is this accurate or are the dealers trying to take me for a ride?

Your Cavalier is probably not too much different.
