What should I do, have a newer radiator put in?

How much should I expect to pay a dealership for the work and parts?
Yeah I'd say its probably a good idea to get the radiator replaced as a preventative repair. The part appears to be around $200-250, not bad. Thats over $150 less than the one I bought for my 1982!

At the dealer they'd charge list for the radiator (probably closer to $400)
+ coolant (another $50)
+ labor ($few hundred)
+ new hoses (Good idea, probably about $50)
