I have a toyota/mazda used parts car recycling place next to me and they have a stock toyota brand radiator with less than 100,000 seen on it out of a 87 (same year as me) for 50. The guy said there is a 30 day warranty on it. Should i get that or just go for a new oem replacement for 200+?

 

www.radiatorbarn.com has them for a little over 100 dollars brand new with free shipping and a life time warranty

 

1st choice: new OEM; 2nd choice: Raditor Barn, Radiators.com, etc; 3rd choice: used radiators--considering how most owners maintain their vehicles, the used unit should be considered only if money is an extreme concern.

 

cheapest one i find is 180 something. and i can get a 3 core spectre brass tank for 160 from my ex's shop for 160 or macs has aluminum for around 200. Price is kind of a issue i just do not want a plastic tank.

 

ahh i didn't no that
