    That is an insane low price for an aluminum radiator. It shows all of these "testmonials" to their great radiators but the seller only has a feedback rating of 1.

    It "looks" like it will work.

    Exactly what I was thinking also...I noticed that after further examination.

    He has other auctions and none nearly as low in price - but then again, none for this car :(

    I'll make a decision within the next couple hours - obviously :D

    Just did a google and a yellow pages search for san jose.ca with no results for christian radiator. I think I would wait till they have some feedback before I sent them my money.

    Did some more research and diggin on the testimonials names. The common ebay purchase to them all is Monsterradiator. They seem to have a few ebay stores managed under that name.

    For that price, I would buy it and rely on Ebay's policies to cover your butt if the deal is less than pleasing.

    Not sure, but I think if you pay with paypal, you are sorta insured against fraud. May want to look into that...

    No my top bid was just over $90 and the guy stumped me toward the end lol....I'm not sweating it, my radiator is fine but this would have been a nice replacement for when I redo my entire engine bay and make it eye candy :)

    thanks for the research by the way :)

    Also, ebay does have some sort of fraud coverage and they do reimburse for I believe up to $2k. Not sure about paypal though, but thats how I always pay. The only thing I bought but never recieved was an $8 video game and they gave me that money back if I remember correctly (ebay that is)

    I knew ebay bidding was safe, but I wasn't sure if it was ebay, paypal, or both that offered protection.
