I'm thinking about purchasing a 1974 bmw 2002 for about $1200. There is a little rust around the right rear wheel well but based on what I've read that is something which I should expect, and is a minor problem that can be easily remedied. My major concerns are the fact that I intend to use this car as my major source of transportation: I live in New York City, the Bronx; and need to travel to Maryland, Georgia and South Carolina a couple of times a year; and the car doesn't have A/C. As you are aware tempetures have been very extreme lately, and will in all likihood will only get worst. Therefore the lack of A/C is a primary concern, especially since I have a girlfriend who can't stand the heat- getting a new one is not an option. I've been told that I can purchase a complete system for about $350. Considering all my needs is the car worth it? Please advice.
