The best thing to do with the ISS is to keep it running until the end and then sell it off to a private company with a de-orbit/safe orbit agreement for anything they do not keep in space.

Space X could easily send up all they need to build anything on a few Starships.

Would it be possible to save the ISS truss to attach to Starship?

Outfit it with lots of argon for ion engines?
