97 CL Manual Radiator question...
Mine looks like its beginning to crack. I'll be replacing it very soon. However, should I go w/what the mechanic is charging me (290 w/parts/labor) or maybe buy my own radiator off of ebay (im seeing them go for 30 bucks +30 shipping) and then getting mechanic to install.
Logic tells me to go w/mechanic... but my pocketbook thinks the opposite.
what does acurazine say?
thanks guys,
-Alex

do it your self. but it off ebay.. drain fliud, undo hoses remove radiator and drop in new one. but for warrenty purposes go with mechanic. if you dont care about warranty, but it from ebay

I bought it used... would the 80k warranty (im at 57600k) still cover me for the radiator?
Otherwise I just might buy it off of ebay and take it to my boys so they can do it for me.
