Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Is this a good price for a radiator replacement?
2003 Dodge Caravan SE. 105K miles.
Car place says I have a 3 inch crack in my radiator and it needs to be replaced. Said it's near the top right where a hose connected, and said it's a common place for a crack to develop. Said there was only about a gallon of fluid left in it.
Quoted me $520 for replacement, including MOPAR fluid. Is that a good price?
Also: is there anything I could have done to repair the crack if I had caught it when it was small, before it became a large crack? Just wondering.
The car has 105,000 miles on it, and I've had it since '06 and have never done a radiator flush on it (stupidly). I imagine that's what caused the crack?
Are there any other components besides the radiator that I should have them check for possible damage, having never done a radiator flush on it?
Thanks!

As far as the price goes, it appears to be reasonable. The cost of living (doing business) varies, so some places might be higher, others lower.
