I have 95 850 GLT and I need a new radiator. Will there be a future problem if I use one from Advance Auto? They have plastic tanks and copper and brass cores. It looks like the one in the car has an aluminum core. I also noticed that they offer one and two row core options. Which is best?

Bite the bullet and get a Nissans or Behr. I am not a metallurgalist and do not know what happens when the copper and brass leaching will do to the aluminum block.
You probably are not going to use a good antifreeze that will work with all three metals.

yeah, I bought an aftermarket plastic radiator at VIP auto parts for 180$ and a year later one of the plastic plugs fell out, they gave me life time warrenty but still had to pay for the labor to change radiator, get a good one.
