Automatic Door locks!

When we bought our last two cars, we made sure that the doors had manual windows. We tried for manual door locks but they were not available on the model that we chose and it is not the top of the line. We believe that cars all deteriorate and all end up in the same dump once they viable life is over. Jaguars and Corollas finally keep each other company.
Are you aware that it costs over $500 to fix a lock? What a shock and these locks can keep breaking down. We had one of the locks on our car fixed because it froze in the open position, not a good situation. Freezing in the locked position would have been awkward but we could have worked with it.
Our goal is to keep our car as simple as possible and that will keep repair costs down. At least that is the plan. Will be examining the repair plans and policies for the next car very carefully. Our latest car is just 3 years old and the repairs are already this high! Yikes! Something is wrong.
Will be watching these repairs very carefully.
