probably shouldn't even ask, but the $40 ebay radiators.....

[waynaferd]

Looking for a 4.0 radiator for my 96, and on ebay they start new, w/ warranty, at $40, then go up a little at a time to over $200....

So whats the deal with these? Anything worthwhile? Pipe dreams, I'm sure.....

Thanks!!

Well, a few of those sellers are all the same guys, pretty much any of them that have their feedback set to private auctions and located in the US.

As for the cheap prices, low cost plastic tanks, cheap metal 1 row radiator, virtually no customer support help them keep it low. The lowest priced ones are probably ok if you don't live in a hot climate, but I wouldn't expect them to last more than a couple years before the plastic starts cracking or the fins deteriorate.
