I have had a few latches fail over the years but none recently. I always
would buy a used one from a salvage yard for maybe $20-$25 although I
remember once when I got a bad used one. They should be a fairly common
item since they were the same for most push-button handle doors, at
least for the chrome bumper years, B & BGT.

Subject: Drivers's side door latch
I have a problem that is mystifying me. Yester I went to close the
driver's
side door and it just didn't latch. I inspected the door components and
can't figure out what's preventing it from "grabbing" and staying
securely
closed. New latches are more than $200 each so I need to figure out
what's
going on here. Any ideas? I'm pretty sure its in the door latch as
there's
no moving parts on the body of the car to fail...
