Genuine Volvo Radiator, S60/V70/S80 - ViVA Performance
This is a true Volvo part... $329usd + shipping + brokerage. For sure way less than buying it new at Volvo in Canada, but twice the price of the one that you saw online.

Plus, we don't know that he didn't have that radiator in stock.
There is something to be said for "my car is puking out coolant and I need to get to work on Monday" and he has a rad right there for you, vs..."you know, I could save $150-$200 if I wait a week for it to be shipped"
The dealer supposed to sit on these parts for free?
Even if its not in stock, I would imagine the dealer would have it delivered faster from their suppliers than you would from yours.
Depends on how bad your current part is, I guess.
