The lights are coming on, but it is not turning over

I agree with Odessa's answer. Don't worry though, since you can apparently afford to buy new engines rather than take the time to have your cooling system repaired.

Usually if an engine has been run too hot for too long and now it won't turn over it means that the internal parts have become so hot that they have seized together or possibly the head gasket has blown or the head has cracked and allowed coolant to enter the cylinders. Since the coolant is a liquid it can't be compressed so this keeps the engine from turning. Bad news either way.

Radiator is very important it what the coolant goes thru to cool when the engine heats up. What happened you overheated the engine so bad that the bearing and pistons seized up or fused together and it locked the engine up.
What you could have done is spent $100 on a junkyard part and had it fixed. But now its gonna cost you depending if you want a used motor or new.

" an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" Get ready, You are going to pay some serious pounds. You have probably at best blown a head gasket, to locking up the engine. People who
can't rectify a problem at the beginning keep me well-paid.

Well, you could have seized the engine...Very Bad News. Sorry for you, but repairing a car when you first notice a problem is always the cheapest way to go.

maybe you cracked you engine ! over heating and not fixing leak can lead to having to replace engine , fill up the radiator with coolant and see if it starts also have you checked your oil level of late ? you have to maintain a cars engine to keep it running !

Check to see if it is wet on the floor of the passengers side floor, if so your heater core is shot. This will cause over heating and leaking.
