As far as cost goes, members can speculate or relate what they paid but your best bet is to call your local indy shop and ask them. What you find locally is all that matters anyway. You could call the dealer to get a baseline.

Heater core replacement books out at 1.5 hrs so with a coolant flush and proper bleed, maybe 2.0 hrs. The heater core itself (assuming OEM) is about $360 retail but I have seem them online as cheap as $320 plus shipping. A gallon of the Porsche antifreeze is $35 retail if I remember correctly. I have one (it's a 1997) in the shop right now for this exact thing.
