He said that he didn't use it much, and he recharged it now and again, but it would work for awhile and then stop. He did have it retrofitted to R134. He said since he didn't use the A/C much, it didn't bother him.

So here's the question - the rest of the car is is good order, but the A/C is dead. For those who are experts in A/C, what is the worst that could be wrong with it, and what would it take to fix it? What kind of expenses could I expect with this?

I'm very tempted to buy it, but the broken A/C kinda scares me.

Sincerely,

PE
Sounds very similar to the 240D I looked at today. In RI?
