Koyo aluminum is about $320

 

Ok. I'm just of the philosophy that you don't replace something that doesn't need to be replaced (hoses per speedmaster) and you don't spend more money on something that won't give you any benefit (all-metal radiator). Unless you plan on keeping the car for another 8-9 years.

 

I am just a maintance guy.... If they are stock 9 year old hoses" I " would replace them. I have had a hose blow and it usually not in the driveway.

 

in Vancouver BC, Honda charges CAD$730 for OEM radiator

 

I personally try not to ever buy anything from the dealer. A used radiator is like half the dealer price. And it will prolly last a while.

 

yap but i am having trouble finding a used one right now

 

I've seen 4 used ones in the for sale section in the past 2 weeks.
