Default 2000 overheating

First I want to apologize for my re-posts earlier, im slow in learning the forums. Anyway, I am looking at a 2000 Disco with 65k on it. The guy is asking $5k. The problem with it is that it overheats. He said he replaced the thermostat and the head gasket and the problem continues. He also said a mechanic told him it was the radiator because it has a cold spot on it. Does this sound correct? Is there a way to check the radiator myself? He also told me it would cost around $500 to replace the radiator. Does this sound correct? Any info is great. Thanks everyone

Has anyone else come across this sort of radiator problem? Any help with the overheating issue would be great. The rig seems to be in great shape besides this problem. Thanks

You probably have air in your coolant system and it needs to be bled properly, I believe there is a sticky for that at the top. I would get on it before you warp your heads or blow another gasket. Are you experiencing the "waterfall" sound coming from the glove box area?

It is not my rover. I am looking at it as a potential buy but im scared of the overheating issue. Basically im trying to figure out whether or not the rig is worth buying for $5k with 65k miles, its a 2000.
