I found a new mechanic whom I like. My car has been overheating and turns out I have a cracked radiator.
Mechanic advises against me from pulling a used one from an old Honda, but I think I could save a lot of money this way. He gave me the impression it's going to be expensive. Of course if I take it from an old Honda I have no insurance that the car didn't die from overheating.
An online search indicates he'll probably charge me at least $175 for the part:

Do you think it's a gamble to use an old radiator?

Some unrelated things the mechanic said regarding the car:
1. The lurching backward on a hill when in gear is a sign of bad compression in the cylinders.
2. The O2 sensor throwing a CEL when it's not hot is a bad heat sensor in the O2 sensor. Going to try to get Global Automotive to replace it as it's still under warranty.
