I've been looking for a new radiator recently and was planning on going down to 4wparts and ordering one. But I found one on Craigslist. Brand new, still in box for 60$
Good deal or should I stay away? Thanks!

I replaced the rad on my 2000 this past fall. 4 rads from three sources, all slightly different.
The overall size and connections where OK. The issue was with the details.
Flush out all the old crud from the block, blow out the core and heater hoses, replace the thermostat.
The bottom tabs on the belt-driven-fan shroud would not line up into the slots on the bottom support bracket. Test fit it first!
Could not get the bottom trans line clip off. Had to cut the line. The replacement tube elbow is too long for the space. Needed to use a small sledge to bang the body out of the way. If you are using a rubber fuel line instead of the old leaky trans-line clip, flare the tube ends and use quality hose clamps.
Do yourself a favor, replace the radiator cap. Make sure it fits.
