u tried Covs? my sierra new one was about 200ish.
I do have a vit rad here - not sure on selling yet. postage would be a pain as well i would think from wa.
Is yours a G16B or A if they are different?

Ummmm it's a 1988 1.6 Vitara!?! How do I tell the difference? I know there is a plastic tank one and a metal tank one, I have the metal tank one.

My Sierra one was $350 retail from repco for a new one, I ended up paying trade $305. All the radiator places in the ACT are Pirates too ARRRHARRR.
They all quoted $400+

This is nearly as bad as holden, they quoted me $635 for a radiator for my VS V6.
Ended up getting an after market one which showed up in the holden genuine parts box for $105-
If i remember in the morning i'll get a quote for you, the problem will be the freight. by the time you pay for that it will probably be the same as up there.

Quote would be great.
Freight sometimes isn't as high as people think. I just got Calmini sup for the Vit from Perth, freight was $179 for 3 heavy boxes.

Might have to look into it.
$290 and if freight is only $60, to me thats a good price. Up here there $400.
Thanks heaps for your time and help.
