My RX8 was broken into, have some damage need advice
Hi guys, I woke up today to find my driver's side window broken and wires cut and hanging loose below my steering wheel. The ignition switch is also pretty messed up. It looks like they jammed a screw driver in there and wiggled it around. I called a mechanic and had it towed to their place.
I just got a call back and they told me that Mazda told them there weren't any ignition switches available in the U.S. and it would take 2 months to order one? I went on eBay just now and see a couple of listings for ignition switches. So...what I'm asking is if it'd be appropriate for me to just buy those and give it to the mechanic?
I'm not sure how much the ignition switch from Mazda will run me but it seems like it would be 10x more than what I would pay on eBay.

Same issue happened with my replacement seat position sensor for the drivers seat. No parts in US and had to be assembled and shipped from Japan. 2 weeks and she was installed under warranty
