I'll second that. A car with working AC is always more attractive than one without. If all it really needed was a charge, don't you think they would have done that before trying to sell the car?

If it blew snowballs when you looked at it, and it wasn't months or a 40+F temperature swing between then and when you bought it, it was a resonable expectation that it should still be working. You've messed with the system, and probably let it go too long anyway, so its too late for any recourse now though. Best bet would be to take it to someone who knows how to do more than put an unknown amount of refrigerant into a system with an unknown kind of refrigerant.. like maybe someone who can diagnose the actual probelm.
