first off, only buy it if he accepts PayPal. If you don't have it, sign up at www.paypal.com It's free, safe, and very convenient. If you get ripped off, you get your money back.

About the radiator, ask him for the part number, and search that number and see what shows up, kinda like a vin number for a car.

Good Luck!

Got mine for $285. Its the real deal, except mine had no brackets You could see the marks on the side that it had brackets but was taken off or something. Came in the box with the right part no. and everything. Compared it to other Koyo on other rx7 and it was the same. Iono if it was used, but it was clean and had no bent fins. I had to custom make some brackets. Total spent $410. Should of bought a Fluidyne tho for $435 + Shipping. but its all good!

When you buy Koyo rad it doesn't come with brackets you have to use your stock ones to make it fit. If you have an S4 car and you get an S5 rad then it won't work unless you have some S5 rad brackets and vice versa. Make sure when you order your rad that its for the right year Rex.

I have no problems with my KOYO.......ebay purchase too

good savings, good product - what can I say?

s4 and s5 are just SLIGHTLY different design, no comment on whether one is "better" than the other......if there is a difference its so minimal its not even worth discussion
