Should I return this radiator

[99Cruiser]

The radiator is in pretty good shape. A few of the aluminum fins are bent slightly but overall not bad. However I noticed this line on the bottom and can feel the ridge with my fingernail. Should I send this back, I ordered it online.

I would definitely send it back.

X2 Send it back!

Should I just buy it local since I have read others had problems with online radiator orders?

Wow, good job inspecting that before installing. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Parts.autonationtoyotasouthaustin.com has them for about $290 and you can go pick it up and inspect in person. Located SW. corner of Ben white & 35.

It seems Toyota packaged these for protection in a warehouse/dealer stock environment, not to be shipped.

That's what I'd do. I've had good luck with my local Toyota dealer parts desk matching online prices from other Toyota dealers.
