Cost of having engine cooling fan replaced

I've read some of the threads here about failing fiberglass engine cooling fans. How much would it cost to have one replaced?

We are researching and preparing for the purchase of a FT (years 2001-2003) so I am wondering if this is something that I should negotiate that into the price. Do FTs of those years have fiberglass fans? Thanks.

Royce, The failure that has so much talk is an older unit with the radiator across the rear and uses the Detroit Diesel engine.  Later units use the side radiator with hydraulic driven fans, I have not heard any talk about those having failures.
Hope to see you with a nice Foretravel Coach.
Good Luck
