I need a radiator for '88 951
I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has a NEW radiator laying around that they won't be needing, and you're willing to let it go for less than retail, please let me know. I just figured I'd try here first before shelling out $310+ for a new one from a vendor.
Thanks.
Thanks.

the car it came off of had about 90k on it. Just fyi, Vertex usually has the best deal on the radiators new, that's where I got mine last year. Tell them you saw there price special in excellence.

Purchased a brand new 951 radiator from Vertex in FL for US$249, talk to Sid Gonza, nice guy.

New ones are always in favour of used, they are pretty old now and god knows how long they have been off the car getting rusted internally and if there is a blockage (even partial).
Do it once, do it right

Do a Google search, for radiator, Porsche 944 Turbo, you will get several hits with good prices. I forget which vendor I purchased mine from but that's how I found it. It's German made and looks exactly like the stocker, plastic end tanks and all, and it DOESN'T LEAK. I think I paid like $215 or maybe $225 or so, shipped. I also have a leaky stocker that you could have for the price of shipping....
