why buy 2nd hand for items like this with no guarantee that it'll last and would probably need changing again down the road...?

Had the radiator on the E34 break at the water entry point- if you are going to buy 2nd hand check for hairline cracks around the connections. For those amongst us who have microscopic vision how do you know- unless you install it then have it pressure tested..taking the risk there buddy. But then I installed a second hand radiator back in and it's been fine.

Maybe around $300 to get yours pushrodded, leak tested, repaired, new cap, and refilled. Its pretty labour intensive.

You have to weigh up weather you go for the full recon and have peace of mind for the next say.. 100,000 ks, or go for the second hand and never be to sure. If the second hand rad is sub $150 its probably worth going for it I guess?
