Do your door handles break like mine?

I've been through a couple door handles on my '95 Tercel. They always seem to break in the exact same way. Luckily, I've always been able to find a replacement in the local junkyard. Had my driver's side handle break off in my hand last weekend, but the junkyard didn't have any replacements this time. Funny thing is, there were 2 Tercels in the yard, and both of their handles were broken exactly the same way as mine. Anyway, I stopped at the local dealer on the way home to price one. Now remember, this is a PLASTIC handle with a metal spring. They qouted me $76!!!! Couldn't believe it. So I turned to eBay. Found a seller with aftermarket handles for only $10.89 with free shipping! And they come with a lifetime warranty. It arrived today. It fits perfectly and looks exactly like the OEM one. And for a fraction of the cost! Just wanted to pass this along in case anyone else is looking to save some money. The eBay seller's name is directauto. They have all kinds of things for lots of different cars. Fast shipping too.
