Car busted into

Car busted into
Busted rear window, glove box ripped off, console broken, etc.
No that I am past the depression & anger state, I'm looking at fixing this myself to save $ - does anyone know if the console is specific to models with or w/o the rear entertainment (i.e. is the DVD player assbly a separate part?).
There are a bunch of parts on ebay but I want to be sure b4 I bid.
Thanks!
PS, If you ever want to know how nice your ride really is, buy a POS back-up car (mine is a 2002 Chrysler Town and Country 'Limited). Everytime I drive that and get back into the GX, I feel like I died and went to heaven, the difference is incredible. Pretty amazing for a vehicle that stickered only 10K above the other. Granted the T&C is a much more practical vehicle (esp w/AWD). It is great to have a beater as a back up or for when you don't want to put something dirty into the GX (e.g. mountain bike)....

Sorry for your misfortune. Have you tried Sewell for these parts?

Yes they did. They just cut me a check for 2K saying I can have it fixed or keep the $ and do it myself. If I have it fixed though it won't cost me a penny over the deductible (500) but I think I can fix everything myself for much less than that. I'll turn this negative into a positive by getting all of the scratches I put on my baby this NE winter fixed with the difference.

that blows, did they actually take anything or just screw stuff up....I totally understand on the driving a POS comment too. I daily drive my 88 celica and then when I get into any of the other cars its a treat.

Yeah they took my sat radio (stupid, I simpley had it shut off the next day) & my garmin GPS. Stupid **** must have cut himself when he broke the window, he left bloody fingerprints all over the place. It was disgusting - all clean (and sterile) now though.

Oooh, good call - forgot about them. I ordered a new glovebox & lock from Lexus Parts Now yesterday, they seem pretty good to work with and they were actually much cheaper than Sewell. I'll see if I can't find some of the more expensive parts on car-part.

First - sorry to hear about your vehicle. People who break into cars like this for theft have no place in our society, in my opinion.
(There is a legit place for people who break into cars though - if I locked myself out, I'll need help getting in... )
Yes - you are totally right in the above. I drive a daily driver and it's always a real treat to get back behind the wheel of a Lexus now and then. Makes you really appreciate the quality of the Lexus vehicles. Well said.
