DOes this sound OK, $300 is a lot of change but new radiators are in the $700 range. I guess I could live with leaks but got it all apart and want to put it back right, what would you do??
Thanks

For the same price as recore, you can put in a new Behr with the reinforced neck. Check out ***************. Click on online catalog. Enter your vehicle information to find parts just for you. I did the job myself. For a few bucks more get a new radiator cap too.
$291.19 delivered to my door free shipping, no core charge.
New radiator in for a year now. No problems...good luck.
