Do you need the cars to be reliable or is it ok if you get stranded somewhere and have to use a tow truck?
Any repair attempt will only push the inevitable a little bit further and then the plastic tank will rupture suddenly. This is a way it's telling you before you get stranded.
The plastic on the hot side of radiator deteriorates with heat and coolant chemicals so it is not that the plastic on each side of the crack is solid in nature but that whole area have starting to fail.
I would only get a used radiator if I knew it had low mileage since replacement.
