I have a crack in my 1997 Honda Civic Ex. It has about 140,000 miles and a 1.6L engine. The crack has been patched before. I'm hoping to patch the crack, because I'm going to sell the vehicle in 6 months. Please let me know if this is possible and will last that long or should I just buy a new radiator.

I wouldn't dump on anyone or want to be driving with a cracked radiator. If the aluminum is cracked a good welder might be able to help. Plastic...no way. Invest in a new one. Shop around or even look for a used one. You can try online as well. Play fair.
