Driver's Side Door Handle/Cable Broke
My driver's side door handle is broken, and the cable from the handle to the latch is broken. Our mechanic said that it would cost $400 to replace the whole assembly, and $200 for labor. Has anyone had the same problem? How hard to fix yourself? Thanks.

No Pain, No Pain!
Sounds a bit steep to me!
I can't imagine that it would cost $400 for the door handle cable.
You should be able to replace just the cable, at the most the cable
and the handle.
Try getting a 2nd opinion, possibly from a body-shop. They deal with repairing and replacing car/truck doors all the time and should be able to give you a good idea what is involved.
