Hey guys it's always a pleasure to talk to you on here :-) I have a 2009 Chevy HHR SS and my question today is: should I buy an eBay radiator? I went to AutoZone's website and they have an exact radiator for my car but it is nearly $200. So of course I go on eBay(my favorite website) and I find a whole bunch of exact replacement radiators for half the price. After looking at the pictures, the eBay radiators look identical to the radiator I am looking at on AutoZone's website. If somebody could respond back to my thread and let me know what they think that would be great. Thank you :-)

 

They look identical because they are identical! I bet even the same part number on the box.

 

Notice here there's the assortment of engine size and such but the same part number for the rad from TYC

yeah according to eBay the part number for my radiator is 2850 and that is the same number for wrench monkey. I think I am gonna try ebay:) I just wish there were reviews on them

 

Can't hurt, it appears to be the same rad. Why pay the extra for the same part?

 

Here is the GM part number 15940326 or 21699(probably the ACDelco number). Google is your friend. Find the best deal for you.

 

Tyc is a great brand. Got my fan assembly from then for only 50 bucks
