My AC compressor is dead in my 960. Dealer quotes $1200 start to finish. My local indy is at $900. Can I go used? How in the world can this be this much money?
A/C Repair for 960

Sounds typical... friends of mine have dropped 1000-1500 on their Chryslers, which have frequent A/C failures.
Today's small quiet compressors have lots of moving parts, and so are expensive. Factor in a couple of hours of labour and a recharge.
Look at a junkyard first though, there's a good chance you can find a decent compressor for a lot cheaper than a new one, particularly if it comes from an area with a cooler climate, it won't have been used as much.
Make sure that the fittings are clean of dust inside the fitting, as all AC components need to be scrupulously clean inside. Joe
Worth a shot...Thanks.
