I have that radiator in my car currently and have no issues. Only issue I have with it isnt even a problem of the radiator more a problem with the Full Race bar making you use their radiator for clearance issues.

Did a new radiator resolve his overheating issue? If so then I would probably shy away from buying it off of him, unless he did multiple 'fix-its' at one time and isn't sure if the radiator was the true issue.
Nothing wrong with that radiator on the ad. I personally use the Mishimoto labelled one that looks like it. BTW, these aluminum radiators are a little more hot to the touch at the end tanks especially. Nothing wrong with them at all.

Yeah exactly they are a little hotter to the touch then the plastic stock ones. But as far as performance they are fine. Hell my car runs cooler with this radiator then a stock Dual Core OEM one

if he bought a cheap azz radiator ...well you get get what you pay for
but it still it shouldn't be overheating unless theres something wrong withe cooling system itself ....for example he put on an aftermarket fan and had it blowing instead of sucking air yea it sounds dumb but my buddy blew a fresh built sr20det because of this
be honest i don't buy cheap parts ,you pay for them in the long run
