1st thanks for all the help

I have been battling a heating problem for a while....I think its time for a new radiator....everything else is new and replaced and I am still having issues....I dont have much money so the cheaper the better...a recore I think is out of the question...I just want to drive without worries!  I see some on ebay that are reasonable ($200 or so).  are they any good or any other suggestions...thanks

So, what exactly is the problem? Overheat at idle? Freeway driving? Is the engine stock? Has there always been a cooling problem? If not when did it start? What water pump is on the car? Did you check that you have actual flow through the radiator? Have you checked the water temperature other than with the stock gauge? Are you running the stock fan? In my experience unless you amp up the load (a lot bigger engine) on the stock system the stock radiator should be just fine, and any cooling problems are generally not with the radiator.
