At Grade B (good) condition, the Nissan Murano is 22% cheaper ($153 vs $195) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
The Ford Explorer has 5 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Nissan Murano, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Ford Explorer.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used radiator
- Inspect for bent or crushed fins — minor cosmetic bending is OK, but large crushed sections reduce cooling capacity.
- Check both tanks (top and bottom) for cracks, especially along the crimped seams on plastic-tank radiators.
- Confirm the inlet/outlet positions and sizes match — some models moved ports between model years.
- Look for internal blockage: shake the unit and listen for debris, or flush it with a garden hose before installing.
