My son has a 1995 LS400. His driver's side door handle broke off in his hand as he was opening the door. I have tried all morning to track down a replacement (short of paying the quoted $150 at the local dealer) with no results. Color is not important, but black or a dark dolor would be good. Any assistance on tracking down a replacement would be appreciated. As well, would you have any suggestions for installing the part rather than heading to the dealer to pay them the estimated $200-$225?
Thank you for your help.

 

PM Aliga. He's got a plethora of replacement parts and reasonable prices.

 

And how would I access this person? I Google'd PM aliga and did get a website entitled Lextreme. Is that it? If not, how would I go about making a connection?
Thanks again

 

buying from a dealer is the best bet, carson or sewell should be able to save you $30-40, plus the OEM handles come pre-painted

 

Always a handful on eBay..

 

PM = private message.

Here's a link to aliga's profile:

Click the 'Send Message' tab and a drop down menu will appear allowing you to 'send a private message to aliga' if you click on that link.

 

www.car-part.com to search ur local junkyards.

 

There are usually some on Ebay.com and you may find the same color as you need, for fitting the link below gives full details

Many thanks to those of you who took the time to respond. We should be able to track down that pesky door handle through one of the many sites you recommended.

 

Thank you for your response. As you can see, I am not very knowledgeble regarding response codes and did not know PM meant private message. It's quite likely I'll remain in the land of the doofus for some time to come until I become more educated.

 

No problemo. I am a proud citizen!

 

I have similar problem with the handle.
Do 1st and 2nd gens have same handles?
Is there anywhere listed on the net what parts 1st and 2nd gens have in common?
thanks a lot
