Exclamation Where to buy new radiator?

After finishing installing all of my sound gear in my car, I started having excessive problems with my radiator. It seems the small crack that was only a minor nuisance before has become a rather large and quite annoying/expensive problem..... stupid giant dumptrucks that dont invest in anything better than a loose ripped up tarp to cover their load of small rocks..

Anyways to get to the point I am in dire need of a new radiator to replace one for a KA24DE - 94 Altima GLE... I found a few places online but i dont really trust them... kinda shady...

Anyone know where i can get one for my car? (preferably sometime by the end of this month?)

I've seen the prices online and they arent bad at all, around 150 for a really nice one, averages being around 125.

Thanks for the replies! =D

Yeah actually, for everyone's info, do not buy these radiators from autozone for the particular one listed for an 94 Altima. They have the wrong fitting radiators listed. I had to ask my mechanic to get one from his retailer to install since he said the hose was on the opposite side, the radiator just doesnt fit. This is just FYI for people in the future.

Anyways i got the new one in and all looks good so far =D so im happy in that sense, in the other sense i'm down about 700 bucks (290.66 for new radiator and install) and the other 400 is for other junk i owe people.. ugh at least by april 15th i'll have everything paid off.
