Is this minivan worth repairing?

My parents divorced a couple years ago, and my dad kept our 2004 Toyota Sienna. Well, he drove it to the ground and could never afford to fix it, so he parked it in the garage of my mom's house and that's where it's sat for about a year. He recently said that if I wanted it, it was mine to deal with. Since I'm only 16 and without a car of my own I would like to capitalize on this. It's a 2004 Toyota Sienna LE with over 220,000 miles on it and as far as I know, it doesn't run. It had a lot of trouble driving to my mom's house on it's last journey and since it has been sitting for so long, the battery has been completely fried. Until I get a new battery for it, I don't know if it will even start up or not. I'm no expert with cars, so my question for you is: Is this car worth trying to repair? With so many miles and some minor cosmetic damage, is there any market for this car even if it was in perfect condition? As I look at ebay and craigslist listings for similar minivans, I am beginning to think that I could make more money by selling it to the junk yard. Any and all responses are appreciated. Thanks!
