Need opinions::: Take a look at this radiator. POLL TOO !

So I found this Koyo radiator for 200

Anyways the question is for 200 should I buy it - Owner claims less then 900 miles put on it since he's had it.

Half the price of a new 1 isn't too bad. But if you can see it person it would be better.

What would I be looking for if I saw it in person ?
The guy claims 100% no leaks or anything like that .

As long as bent fins are the only problem, it's a pretty good deal.

True it's hard to tell if it leaks unless it's in your car. But i suggest looking at the condition. Other than the fins been bent which can fixed with a toothpick and time. Corrosion been dropped.. etc...

Re: Need opinions::: Take a look at this radiator. POLL TOO ! (WickedKP)

I'm kinda iffy because for under 900 miles shouldn't it look a bit more pretty on the front ?

Any more opinions?
Thanks for WickekKP for the advice

Dude, that looks like ****. Just get a new one or a fluidyne. Its to important to save $150. If you get it and it leaks, now you gotta pony up more $.

It looks a bit beat up for only 900 miles. However, like everyone is saying, as long as it holds pressure and doesn't leak you should be fine. As for the bent fins, I've seen a tool that much resembles a hair comb which you can use to straighten up those fins in no time.
