Yeah, don't break those!

Did you check Tousley Ford?
I don't know if this URL will get you to the correct page but their online deal will have a powered, heated, memory, etc. for around $680.00

That sucks but shouldn't the state pay for repair if they took it out?

Its sucks but Ford is not out of line with any other power heated mirroir I've replaced. Put one on 2006 Cheby (heated power extending, manual fold) I would have to look but my cost was about $700.

They've inconvenienced you enough!

Many state' DOT will NOT pay anything! In my 2010 F150 (didn't even have perm plates on it yet) I was driving through a 1 lane construction zone and the state road crew painted the side of my truck in bright yellow paint! State DOT told me go pound sand. This was in IL not TX.

I busted mine just on the bottom its not too bad and everything works. local ford dealer was going to sell me a new mirror, right side with temp sensor for around $450 ish with repair shop discount. you have to tell them you are a repair shop, just make up a fake name.
