Default Drivers door lock cylinder

Thanks to some enterprising youth in my neighborhood, I'm gonna need to replace the cylinder in the driver-side door (doesn't appear to have any other damage). I have a locksmith who can re-key it to the original settings (so that I don't have to replace passenger or ignition) but I can only find it at the dealer (not part stores), for $93. My mechanic says it should cost about $30. The only thing I've found online is LOCK. Door Lock (15111450) which is about the same price. Anybody have a better source?

Thanks,

J.R.

When I had the same thing happen a couple years ago I had to buy the cylinder through the dealer..And I also had to get a key cut so they could set it up. I believe I ended up paying around $90.00. Also I had to replace the door handle because they had actually busted out the mount that the cylinder clips into as the handle is made of pot-metal and very brittle. Just a heads up.

Thanks Oil...I don't think there's any other damage, but I'll tell my guy to be careful with those clips.

Btw, what did they charge you for installation/key cutting (or was the $90 "all in")? My locksmith wants to charge me $75 (not including the cylinder).
