lol @ $1200 to convert to 134A, a mechanic sure ate well that month thanks to you. R12 is perfectly legal to own, use, and purchase.

I see the 12oz cans of R12 hit around $25/ea during the summer (ebay, CL, etc) as opposed to around $10/ea for the 134A at the auto stores. Over four cans you are spending a whopping $60 more for refrigerant when purchasing in the heat of the summer. Buy it off season and buy in bulk, you will save piles... like I do.

There is simply no good reason to convert these cars to a different refrigerant. I tried Freeze 12 in my 300SEL, so say it does not perform well is being nice.



My tools came from ACkits.com
