MJT2000,

$1500 for a radiator, he's not a dealer he's a stealer. Even $300 is on the high side. If you had a copper/brass radiator, you could get a new core installed for $200 or less and it would be good as new.

After you are on this site for a while, You will learn to stay away from stealers for most repairs. Replacing a radiator is a simple DIY project.

Before you buy a new radiator, take you radiator out and to a radiator shop. Have it flow tested and cleaned if necessary.

If you replace the radiator, I suggest you get an all metal brass/copper radiator instead of the aluminum plastic one like you now have. Do a search for where they are available.
