Cost of replacing the Radiator?
 
my radiator is leaking coolant. what would you guys say I should pay for it to be replaced? including labor etc? could they patch it possibly? should I buy online and have the shop do install only?

have a 06 automatic GT. not going to keep the car for much longer than another year so dont want to invest in a performance radiator.

give me your thoughts wise bros.

OEM Radiator from mazmart w/ shipping: $200 (just buy it online)
Peak Global A/F: $60 (walgreens)

I would expect the radiator replacement to be 2 hours of shop time.
In total, (taxes, fees, etc) about $500.

You can't really patch these radiators because the fittings are made of plastic.
