needing a radiator

I just bought a radiator. Looked all over the net, found quotes varying by hundreds of dollars. Then I called the local chains & they had the typical aftermarket aluminum + plastic tank flavor for slightly less than any website I'd seen (and no shipping charge).
Then I called a local independent radiator shop and they were able to order me a giant OE-spec "super cooling" radiator for $40 less than the lowest price I'd found anywhere else. Took about 4 days to arrive and is exactly what I wanted. Just some food for thought.
