Dealership wants to charge $747 for a new radiator for a 97 850 R - I think that is too much for a dern radiator (yeah I know Dealership cost more)

So anyways, does anyone have a recommendation on a place to order a radiator online? Someone you have used and recommend??

thanks in advance

Wow, that's absurd.

K, you have a few different options. EEuroparts.com sells a Nissens brand radiator that will fit the car for $200, but I have heard a couple occasions where the Nissens radiators were out of square and the bolts didn't line up right. You can get a Behr radiator from AllOEMAutoParts.com for about $200, but I honestly don't know anything about their quality. Also, check out DirectPartsConnection.com. I'm pretty certain that the radiator they sell is OEM, as it's cost is about $340. I'd contact them and make sure that it is indeed OEM Volvo and NOT something people in the industry like to call OEM spec, or "Meets OEM specifications".

bought a rad brand new for 230 canadian dollars at one of the rad shops...they told me it was a nissan manufacturer. One year later still works great and has a 2 year warranty. If i can find one..i think everyone can shopping around! good luck
