Good place to buy door handle

So I went to the stealership today and they want $250 for an exterior door handle. I wasnt expecting it to be less than $200 but $250 just kind of seems a little too much.

You guys know of a good place I can get a new door handle for a fair price?

Thanks

Check out the classified here for used parts. But when all else fails, you can't beat Ray:

Malloy Mazda , Ray Crowe is the parts manager, gives great prices to RX-7 owners, quick shipping: (888) 533-3400 , (703) 490-8170 , fax: (703) 490-3864 , hmkparts@aol.com

I just ordered parts from him Tuesday, can't wait to get them!

Did you have one break? If you aren't lucky enough to find a good deal on one, you may try to repair it. My passenger side handle broke and I was able to fix it with epoxy. Depending on the type of break, the repair may be very effective with epoxy. Good luck!

I bought my FD with a broken door handle months ago and just cant take it anymore. Its the kind of break you cant fix either.

I will send Ray an email right now and see what he can do for me.

My doors were frozen shut and now my driver's door handle feels limp after tugging on it fairly hard. Opens from the inside.

What should I do?

You could try the Fritz Flynn 2nd-Hand Auto Salon and Pre-owned Supercar Emporium.

Which side?

I bought some carbon fiber ones from JT imports right before they got ridiculously expensive.

The one that's good is in storage somewhere in my house. LEt me know which side it is, and if I run into it, I'll let you have it cheap.

Door handles run $180 or so now. I can get 'em for a bit cheaper, but not by much. I was actually thinking of running a group buy on the doorhandles (since so many of us need to replace ours).

You already hijacked it!

Don't keep on using your keys on the driver's side until you do this:
