Replacement Radiator sources 900 1993

Well my dimestore radiator repair using JB Weld did not last quite as long as I had hoped and once again I'm getting a tiny bit of seepage from the upper hose rad. neck. Time to start shopping for a replacement radiator.
It's a 93 940(non turbo) Wagon. Some guy on eBay is hawking these Titan radiators for around $125+s&h. Has anyone seen the Titan? How's the quality?
FCP Groton has Nissen replacements for about $195+s&H. Any other possibilities or sources that you guys have tried and recommend?

Thanks!

I went with an all metal rad. from RPR. First one leaked and they had to send me a second. The second is doing fine and since it's metal, I can have it worked on down the road. To me, worth the 30-40 extra bucks not to have to replace it again if someone leans on the neck and cracks it.

Replacing it twice was a hassle however, but they worked with me and I am happy in the end.

I've done quite a bit of business with www.thepartsbin.com, prices are only a little more than wholesale at the Volvo shop I used to work at + no tax or s/h over $50. OEM and good a/m brands, great selection, check it out.

I got my Nissens from FCP and I'm pleased with price and quality. The car is a 93 745T. Same rad. as yours.

Unfortunately the later radiators are a lot more expensive to replace. I know Nissens has a plastic/aluminum replacement. The prices are still higher than the models up to 1991, though.

Don't buy from thepartsbin.com I ordered a Nissens on the phone and instead they ship out some crap crane brand radiator and claim its the same quality.....they didthis without my permission whatsoever.....and to top it off i call and they say i have to take it to the USPS pay for shipping, fax them a reciept and it will take 3-4 weeks for the warehouse to refund my money on that, and to get the correct radiator I'd have to pay for it up front......no way in hell am I dealing with them again.....I was stuck using the radiator because of time constraints.
