2003 6s radiator cracked

Apparently my thermostat stuck and blew my radiator. Would this also mean the water pump should be replaced? With the work involved in replacing the radiator, is it even worth trying to repair, or should I just sell it as is? Which would be more cost effective?
Stock 2003 6s with approx 130,000 miles

Having the radiator and thermostat replaced should cost less than $1000. 130k isn't particularly high mileage for an '03. The water pump is probably fine. Repaired the car is probably worth $5500-$6500 depending on condition, but non-running it would be very hard to sell for more than $3500 so I think you're best off having it repaired.
