My radiator has been leaking water so I figured I should get one. I have no abilities with auto mechanics whatsoever so I plan to take it to get fixed. What would be a fair price to replace it?? Never had one fixed before so I want to make sure I don't get ripped off...

I just replaced mine. They're about $115-130 new around here. I got mine at a junkyard for $65. Make sure to call around about the right one. Some cars have Toyo, others have Nippon-Denso. I think the Toyos are for FI, but I'm not sure. It's really not that bad a job so it would be ok to try yourself. But if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, because it's pretty easy it shouldn't be too expensive to have someone else do it. You may want to consider getting some new hoses at the same time.
