Default How to open a door with broken handles that dont work.

Recently purchased a 98 sc400.

Destroying the door card is the method of last resort. You might have luck in removing the inner handle (pry off the plastic concave insert that covers the screw), disconnect the cable in the back that the broken lever operates, and tug on it to release the latch.
