Does this sound normal?
I mean I went there to buy coolant because I thought my thermostat housing was leaking but never heard of it evaporating...
I've never heard of such a thing. The entire 7 years I owned mine, the only time I had to add coolant was when I had to replace a component, or there was a leak somewhere... which wasn't very often.

Could be the Cheapo off brand radiators they sell...
This spot sells just radiators and they get container loads from China month to month and they sell them for dirt....
Got 2 aluminum 2 core “champion brand” radiators for $85 a piece or if you want the 2 core plastic body one for $75

Spot called “Lazaro radiators”
Found out about this spot years ago when I had my 4cyl gmc Sonoma
Radiator for that truck was $55
Autozone at the time wanted $265
Adavance $255
Napa $270
I found out about it from the store manager from Napa and he redirected me that way because that’s where they were getting their radiators from...

Good lord... where the hell do they get these prices for radiators anyway? It's crazy how a radiator for a one car - same size or larger - winds up being cheaper than the radiator for another car. Doesn't make sense.

Stay safe, bud! Tell all the guys to lock the doors on the equipment too.... the Pompano Ghetto is slippery.

I think they compare to dealer prices and cut back about $40-50 to make it seem like a “deal”
