Expensive minor repairs

Warning: Peugeots might be affordable but very expensive to maintain... im told i need to pay over R2000 to replace my window button switch which is cheap plastic that broke... apparently i need to buy the entire window mechanism even though it still works when i push it with my finger... be warned. I love my 208 gti but no more peugeot for me after this. The damn thing is cheap plastic and its not even covered under the warranty. They (Westrand and Cresta branches) claim i used force when i was operating it.
