Re: USED RADIATOR? Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:19:34 In Reply to: USED RADIATOR?, saabsince 93b [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:54:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I suppose it all depends on just how cheaply one gets the used radiator compared to the new cost. I've been to junkyards where a radiator is $20, so sure, I'd try that first. But, a warranty (Saab's parts warranty is 12 months/unlimited miles...) is also a nice thing to have.
Besides, the modern aluminum-plastic radiators are all but immune to corrosion and plugging. If they look good, don't have any damage, and can hold their water, it'll probably outlast most anything else in the cooling system except the block and head(s).
