Default Cost to replace door handle

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.

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...

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?
