Need a new Radiator (need good price)

about 6 months ago I flushed my cooling system and discovered there was a hairline crack in the top of my radiator. I patched it up with JB Weld a few times, and though it did not stop the leak, it did prevent a significant amount of leakage.

Well, now that it's not -20 anymore, my car seems to be running hot. I'm not exactly sure what's going, but a new radiator is due as I never intended the JB Weld to be a permanent solution.

Someone had posted a link on these boards (not necessarily for a radiator) but I noticed that this site had one for $70. That's a great price but I've lost the link. The best price I can find now is $100 shipped from Radiator.com.

Can anyone help me beat this price? I'm trying to cut every corner I can because I have no idea what's going on and I don't think a new radiator and thermistat is going to be the end of this.

Thanks in advance.

I just recently purchased a new radiator from www.autotoyotaparts.com

I paid about...$165 I think. They have some other OEM parts they sell on that website, and they're alright to do business with.
It's not as cheap as you were willing to go with, but, supposedly, the radiator I bought was the exact same type that originally came with my car.

hope this helps.
