Called the local consumer auto parts store and the radiator is 145.
Not sure how it compares to the three qualities two online stores had,
including the one for 105 including shipping and (no) tax. This one
is just down the street of course.

Probably less than half that at a junkyard. Most yards guarantee rads against
leaks -- if it leaks, bring it back and they'll give you another one -- but
you'd better ask first.

Just don't expect your money back if it leaks. One of our local yards used to
have a big sign behind the counter: N F C R in letters two feet high. Stood
for "No ... Cash Refunds". Almost all yards have the same policy, if not
always quite so colorfully expressed. But I think every one I've ever dealt
with had an exchange guarantee on radiators.
