Fastlane here sells them for 180US, thats about 220cdn. Where can I get pricing like that in Canada? I asked my mechanic, and he told me they are 350cdn for a new behr radiator. Anyone know of Canadian web sites with pricing like fastlane?

i can get you a new behr for $200.00 U.S. plus shipping from california

Looking to buy from Canadian dealers only, don't want to get raped at customs.

what would that cost? even as a gift?

I believe when items are sent as gifts, first 50cdn in value is tax exempted, after that its 15% plus brokerage. I don't know if u can get away with sending a radiator through customs and putting a low value. I know for a fact they take the liberty sometimes and change the value of items.

In Hamilton Ont. you can buy a Behr rad at Barton Radiator Works. I bought mine there 2 years ago for $238.00 Cdn. They can usaully have one for you in 48hrs. their phone #(905) 522-6126 or www.ypca.com/bartonradworks hope this will help out if you haven't got 1 yet.

wow that is dirt cheap relative to what the dealership asks. The dealership is asking 405cdn plus tax. Even my independent MB mechanic is asking me 350cdn for it.

I would not rule out purchasing in the US.
A lot of suppliers will ship free within the US on items over $50.
If you live close to the border, as I do, you can have it shipped to a drop ship location(check the closest border town) usually for about $3 - $5 Cdn.
One I use will store goods for up to a month at no extra charge.

Or a friend or relative near the border.
Declare it at customs and you will pay GST and PST, but NO brokerage or duty!

I do this several times a year and include consumable parts for the next while.
I believe I save a bundle.

Better yet is if you can co-ordinate it with a trip to the US for other purposes.
You can bring back up to $750 tax and duty free per person if you stay a week or longer.

Good luck.

I just checked with this guy, he is asking the same price as the dealership charges..403cdn plus tax.
