My engine overheating, so I took it to the shop, they told me that my radiator is leaking, that I need a brand new one. I got a new radiator put in, but the car still overheating, usually when I slow down, the mechanic said that I need to buy a new engine, but the engine sound good when I start the car. So I dont think the mechanic know what's up with the car. So please help me with diagnosis.

Try replacing the thermostat-not it do the following below:

Have it block and pressure tested-do the block first to pinpoint a combustion leaking into the cooling system or a gas analyzer to sniff for hydrocarbons at the radiator fill neck.

Pressure test: do not do a pressure test if there's leakage at the headgasket this might cause coolant into the cylinders and lock it up or bend a connecting rod if cranked thereafter. The headgasket should be repaired before doing the pressure test.

If the block and pressure test passes check the following:, Pressure test the Rad. Cap, Clogged radiator, air lock in the cooling system, Fan clutch, Radiator electrical fan, collaspe hoses, water pump.
