The cost of having it repaired a few years ago might have been more expensive then, but copper prices, all metal for that matter, have gone up at an alarming rate. Good idea to check prices; you might be suprised.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Josh Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It depends one what you have in mind with your car, if you have an original radiator that you want to keep and do the numbers thing, then have it repaired. Otherwise I would buy a new radiator, I had one recored a couple years ago and it cost more to have it repaired than what it would have cost to buy a replacement. If you buy a new rad, copper is the way to go, seems like I read somewhere that copper radiators actually cool better than an aluminum replacement.
