My outer door handle is cracked, and I've been looking for a used replacement for my 99'. So far I've come across plenty for the 95'-97', but none for the 98'-00'. Visually they look the same, but I figure internally they may have revised a few small parts. Does anyone know if an earlier version could be retrofitted, or if the handle pull is interchangeable?
'95-97 and '98-00 door handles are not interchangeable.
That said, a brand new doorhandle, in the correct paint color for your car, is only ~$130-140 new from lexus. I would trust that over a 15-17 year old handle any day.

I agree! Just get a new one!
Lexus Pembroke Pines has good prices now that Sewell doesn't do online.
Had I known that door handles came painted and were available for like $100 back in 2006 when I got my first 93, I would have saved myself the grief of finding a used one, that also broke a year later... and i was always gentle

never knew this! what makes them different? i would think the outter shell was the same, but difference lied in the lock cylinder, etc?
this leads me to another question, is the outter door skin the same too?
