he says it has a hole in the radiater, i would still buy it if it could make the trip home, but i dont know if it could, do you guys think it could if i kept puting water in it along the way. how much would that be to fix?
im thinking no right now!

If it's an actual hole in the radiator core, I wouldn't trust it for more than... Maybe three or four miles.

A used radiator should be able to be purchased for around $80 or less. Swapping a radiator is a piece of cake. I swapped one in the dark with minimal hand tools in about an hour, was my first time. Chilton's manual came in handy.

The most common area for Saturn 1.9L radiators to fail is on the end-tanks. They'll crack and leak, but typically don't have "holes" in them, nor do they "pour".

If all else fails, you could do the radiator swap there if he'd allow it.

yea i guess i found another sc2 for sale for cheap it says it runs good but has an oil leak. any car under 1000 is ganna have a problem but leaks oil is drivable home then i could fix it. i cant get a radiater by tommarrow. Now that ive got that fgast ass z28 i wanted a commuter to keep miles off the camaro, but i wanted to stick in the saturn family + i have some parts that i had gotten for my sl2 that i could swap over! heres the other car im going to call this guy tommarow but itll probably be sold. its been up for a while i just never noticed it. http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/162672520.html
Its so cheap and it has low miles must have another problem!
