The driver's side front inside door handle (blue) broke on this vehicle and I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a suitable replacement.

I've located a number of potential replacements on eBay however the one that I've listed below will not work as per email to the seller:

Any all feedback is greatly appreciated in advance!

Miss Tuffy - a wholly appropriate All-Trac name! It hope it was christened with a bottle of old grappa.
Anyhow, I think that the majority of the interior stuff on these wagons was appropriated from the corolla sedan - I'd imagine that the door handles should match. I'd say make your way over to the Richmond or Oakland pick n' pull and find yourself a donor car!

I've thought about heading to the East Bay however it is much easier (and less expensive) to order online.

The pic of the part that I referenced in the eBay auction looks identical to the All-Trac part and I suspect that the parts dealer is being cautious because there All-Trac references are limited. I'll await some more feedback and then just roll the dice on that part...

If anyone has removed and re-installed an inside door handle and can provide insight, I'm all ears.

Thanks again!

Many computer parts inventories I've seen including a professional copy of Mitchell OnDemand don't have the appropriate All Trac info, some such as the version of Mitchell that I saw don't even allow the person to select an All Trac version, only Corolla Wagon style, etc.

Datsa posted a tip in another thread that has been immense help to me - he said to go to http://www.toyodiy.com look up your vehicle and find the door handle part number, then on that same website look up the part number for other Corolla Sedan or Non-All Trac Wagon part numbers for the door handle. If they are the same, you should have absolutely no problems.
Sometimes it helps to look up each part number that you find on http://1sttoyotaparts.com because when you plug the old Toyota Factory part number from toyodiy.com into 1sttoyotaparts.com it will also tell you if that part number has been superseded by a newer part.

Once you know what year and body styles you can take your part from, try http://www.car-part.com it is a email forwarding service of used car wrecker yards across North America. I'm guessing you will have no problem finding your door handle at a local PickNPull or similar, you'll also likely find a blue one!

Wow, this is super helpful and I apologize for not researching the archives and locating this info before raising my hand. I'll report back once I've had some success...many thanks!!!

You're welcome, but truly all thanks to Datsa who enlightened me too! =)
