My Older brothers car messed up and by a majority vote (fathers foot up my *** if i refused, im young lol) my car went to my brother...i found another one at a dealer near my house..the car doesnt have a radio or a/c, the power windows switches are gone on one door...and the engine doesnt run well(not sure whats wrong with it) does anyone know how much it would cost to get new door panels including the switches for the windows and door locks. ill get a aftermarket system..and how much the A/C would cost to get a new one installed

Door panels aren't cheep. I replaced my driver side door panel and it was well over $300 even at dealer cost.

I would keep looking and try to find something better
