Default Window regulators gone bad?

I just bought a 93 GS300 and the window regulators are messed up. Actually 3 window regulators are bad. I know they are messed up because 1 of the windows still roll up so the control switch isn't bad. Does anyone know where I could get these used for a good price or if anyone has had a problem like this and could help me out? The original owner said it started to roll very slowly by then, one day decided to go out. All the help is appreciated thanks!

If you buy them from Lexus it won't be cheap. I broke my regulator in the driver's window. it was $195 for the part. I paid a guy at nissan $50 for labor instead of the $219 Lexus wanted for labor. I'd say check a salvage yard.

just because 1 of the windows roll up doesnt mean that the switch is bad.

I hear you. that's why I went and inspected them and came to find out that one of the windows didn't have a bad regulator. I didn't keep this thread updated since I was busy working on other things.

If you put it on back correctly then it won't squeek up and down the road. The only thing I took off was the center console, radio and 2 door panels. I know what I'm doing and I know how to put things back in it's way it's only common sense. If they weren't meant to be taken apart then a lot of these members wouldn't be changing up their suspensions,engines stereo systems and body kits right? The quality of these cars should of been a lot better if they didn't want people to take things apart to repair it.
