Sourcing Parts On-Line? (2000 v40) S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo-T on  Tue Feb 12 11:44 CST 2013 [RELATED]

Hey All,

So I am shoping for a new replacement radiator and I haven't ever done much hunting on-line. My local dealer quated me about $315 for a replcement rad, but online I am finding prices as low as about $70!? Online I'm also finding a seemingly wide range of prices.

So what's the deal on these price differences? Does price necessarily dictate quality? How does one make a judgement on the quality/reliabilty of what they're getting with so many choices?

Here are a couple of links to demonstrate the range of radiator choices I seem to have:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/2000-Volvo-V40-Radiators%20&%20Parts/33602/i.html?_nkw=2000+Volvo+V40&_trksid=p2042678.m1397

Any tips/advice on how best to narrow my search and make a decision would be greatly appreciated. If you have a favorite seller/dealer that you've never failed with, that would also be appreciated also.

Thanks!
