Someone tried to break into my car recently. I am waiting for an estimate from a body shop. I need a door handle, lock cylinder and alarm switch. Any idea on the cost of parts and labor? This is for the driver's side.

 

Oh god!! Sorry to hear about that. On the other hand looks like your car won.

 

The body shop told me that this is a very common way to break into a Z. There is minimal body damage so I guess it could have been worse.
PS: I had posted another thread earlier with the pictures. At that time I thought that the handle had sprung loose due to vibration or user error. Once I got the comments, I concluded that this was indeed a break in attempt. Next step, get a good alarm

 

Park it in the same place and wait in the shadows with a gun. You might get lucky...

 

that sucks..

 

****, i hope it wouldn't be from a user error or mechanical failure, cause that would fugin suck!!!

 

I just had the same thing happen to me about a month ago while parked at Newark Airport. It cost me approx. $1000 since I needed paint and body work below the door as well. I would assume you need the same.

NJ is the worst for theft. What did they take? Where are you located?

 

Mine does not need any body painting (there is a very small scratch that is under the handle). So only the parts plus about $125 labor. Do you know how much the parts were for you? Also, did you get a new alarm to deter this from happening again?
