cooling fan question

Well here in VA the recent floods got the best of most. the c32 made it out with only minor issues. the biggest of which is the cooling fan shorting out and finally biting the dust. Car wants to over heat when stopped and i get both the coolant messages (check coolant level & coolant! visit workshop) took it to the dealership and they ran every cooling test possible and determined that everything was working poperly but the fan just will not come on. they even tried hard-wiring it to the battery to see if that will get it to run, no luck. They want $940ish for a new fan (ef that). So im asking if anyone has any reviews on aftermarket cooling fans or even a OE used one for sale? Thanks in advance.

I think that with the renntech cams, pulley, ecu... an aftermarket would be better cooling.
