I just wonder how much you paid for labour since the ACM Evaporator with valve is around 300US$ only,the drier $60?

I am thinking of trading in my 300E2.6(w124) or repairing a likely evaporator leak.However,it's been 3 years since the AC compressor was used.I am afraid to sink 2000
US $ only to find out the compressor is bad and it may cost another 2000 to repair totalling 4000 dollars in a car that is worth 5000$ if you trade it in.
