Left (front) door handle

Post by nomead »

I broke the left door handle (the chrome part came off) on Monday. So by coincidence, for other reasons, the last few days have been a bit hectic. I managed to make a trip to the local dealership, but the answer was a bit unexpected (or was it, really?). First they said 65 euros, then "oh wait, it's no longer available". Then I searched through the Finnish database of breakers. Dozens of right hand side handles, only two left handers of which one was rear left, the other was from a mk2 (1982) so I'm not sure if it would even fit. They're asking 30 euros for most of them, left or right.

So... would anyone happen to be breaking a car with a rusty or otherwise unusable left side door, and be willing to remove the handle and ship it to Finland? I'll pay for all costs naturally (Paypal?)

Let me do my homework for a moment.
I must still have a set of doorhandles quicking around that came of a 1990 340.
You'll probably want to know postage as well?

Well... I already got that 1982 handle, and it looks like a match. But with winters like these, who knows when it will break again? (Or indeed the right-side one, that handle already seems to have a 5mm crack...) So it's up to you, if you're willing to sell some to me. And yes, postage costs would be nice too, but I suspect they'll be less than sending that package inside Finland.
