New radiator and thermostat pricing

Hello all,
I'm wanting to replace my radiator and thermostat for my 06 DB9. I contacted a dealership here in California and they quoted me these prices for the items and was wondering if this is typical.

Thermostat and gasket $ 353.79
Radiator $1511.98


Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. They quoted me $1132 for everything (shipping included). Much better.

Is there any difference with the new radiators? If not, I wonder if it would be more cost effective to just have my existing radiator cleaned out and recored.

Possibly blocked that ultimately caused my engine to tick.

Removing the radiator is being a pain in the butt. It seems I have everything disconnected but it still won't slide out. Any tips??

No tricks, just top cover, hoses, A/C parts remove/avoid...and remove radiator.


Sometimes the rubber bushings on the bottom can get stuck to the lower support from juts sitting over time, I just wiggle and pry them lose..Maybe we can if something is forgotten, Got pics?

I have the top cover removed, which was part of the fan assembly, hoses removed (except one), and the transmission cooler moved. I guess I need to wiggle it out. Just seems like more is holding it down.

The one hose is a pain because it's jammed between the core support, the hose that's attached to part where the thermostat housing comes out. Can't really pull it out because it's sandwiched between the support. Geez....
