Did you attempt to open it using the actual key, or the keyless entry remote button?

A buddy just had this happen on his camaro. Not sure how different the internals of the doors are, but his issue was just a little plastic clip on the inside that had broke. Essentially there are rods that run vertically and horizontally and the joints are held together by 2 little plastic clips. the vertical one should be the exterior door handle. I believe both plastic pieces were $7. And it took about 15 min to fix it. If someone could verify that they operate similarly that would be cool

Definitely no $95 fix.

Well it could be 1 of the following.
1. the outer door handle has disconnected from the pull rod not allowing you pull the lock mechanism open.
2. (if) when you reached in to open the door, did you have to unlock it? if so then perhaps the tumbler of the lock is no good, and or has disconnected not allowing you to "unlock" the door itself.
3. The lock mechanism on the Driver side is no good.
