Anyhow, I was fine with having only two working handles in the front but now that one is out, I definitely want to replace it. Anyone find any decently priced solutions?

On EBay they're somewhere between $100 and $175 (shipped) but hard to trust that the handle is working and still would have to paint a used handle if it's not your body color.

All other outlets sell them new between $220 and $300, primed. So still have to paint that too.

May take my chances with EBay. Let me know if you found a different/better option.
411 dollars including tax recently installed at dealer, perfectly matching color. Both battery warnings are gone.
