So here's the question.
When do I give up and replace the compressor? It's starting to get hot here and my car was supposed to have been built last week but for some reason they stopped production last week. I put my deposit down December 2020. I know the longer I wait the closer I get but who knows it could be months. Do I play to my bad luck and fix it so they can call me the second after I get the AC recharged or do I try to save a few hundred bucks and try to wait? |

I did not have AC until 1977 when I bought a Honda Civic Wagon. It was an add-on. I would have to turn it off if I was climbing a long grade and the temp meter climbed. Before that is was the top down or 4 by 55 (windows down and 55 mph). Actually the first AC that I experienced was on a Rambler American driving through the desert southwest. It was one of those vintage evaporative coolers that hung on the side window. It worked. Not something I would try in most other areas of the country. If you suffer a while in the heat, then you will appreciate the AC in the new car all the more. Trading in? Must be one of those deals where the dealer says, "Push it, pull it or tow it... we will pay you top dollar on your trade-in."

No joke. FRS is the first car I've ever owned with working AC.

There are days I could use the windows, but the road noise is already bad enough with adding the wind buffeting. If I wanted all that noise I would have bought a convertible.

I spend an hour and a half every work day on the highway doing between 70 and 80MPH. The last thing in the world I want is the noise, dust and diesel fumes from the bazillion trucks coming in an open window. A/C and recirculate are my friends!
