New Radiator or fix old one?

Alright I'm giving up on fixing my stock radiator myself. I can either buy a new aftermarket one or get my old one fixed for $100. If I should get an aftermarket, where can I find a aftermarket for a good price and are they much better than stock? Thanks------------> Brad

What's wrong with the one you have now? The tanks are made of plastic. They cant be repair. If your looking for an aftermarket one it will be around $300+

A brand new stock one is ~$200 wholesale. If you have a cracked tank and want to work with it, the tanks are replaceable, too.

Just spend the extra $100 and get a new one, its not worth all the headaches of fixing it, and it wont be 100% like a new one will be. I had the same problem, so I hoped on ebay and got a low milage one for $55 I think. Working fine

The place that would charge me $100 said they would replace both of the plastic pieces on either side of the radiator and also clean it out. -----------> Brad
