Alright.. Well im thinking about buying a 6gen celica. It was in an accident where it hit a deer. The car isnt in that bad shape.. .needs new bumper, hood and side panel. The radiator had a little coolant leaking from the top. My question is how much do you think it would be to replace a radiator?

you can easily replace the radiator yourself. You can probably find one new online for about $100.
drain coolant, disconect hoses, unplug sensors/cooling fans, remove 2 bolts (on the brackets directly on top) holding the radiator in, lift strait up out of the car, take off cooling fans from old radiator, put the fans onto the new radiator, drop new unit it. Then just bolt, plug, connect, fill, and done.  edit : also you might want to replace your thermostat and hoses in the process, and after everything is done run for 5 min and refill the coolant to proper level.

AFAIK there is OEM, OEM replacement, KOYO, griffon, and possibly Fluidyne.
