Radiator help.
My radiator cracked at the top, front.(plastic portion) I tried repairing it by ruffing the surface, and putting some "plastic weld" epoxy on it. It lasted for about a week. Next, I was going to try melting the crack together, using a little pocket torch.....But noe, My sister wants to by my car, and its HAS to be real dependable for her, so I need to fix it right.
The Lexus dealer wants $5xx, for a new one. So, I checked on ebay, and Jhot has some used Soarer radiators for $110 shipped. Then I saw this seller. He has a brand new one for $160 shipped, but Im afraid of inferior quality. What do you guys think????

Then these guys have one for $120 shipped. Seems aweful cheap.

Those radiators will work and are very easy to install...Try and get one without the plastic top that is what I did...One year radiator is like new... Before purchasing read the sellers feedbacks, the customers usually report back as to if the product is good or not...
This is a picture of the sc400 radiator without the plastic top... Metal top instead...Radiator cap offers the pressure relief rather then the stock plastic top that is common for leaking over time...

I went ahead and ordered one from radiatorbarn. Its all metal, and they said I should recieve it in two days. Sound like a good deal to me.
After searching, ...looks like a couple other members have their radiators, too.
