yeah probably. I hardly use my AC here in So Cal... I am sure you use it quite often where you live.

Amazon has it for $350, but it's a third party seller so warranty/return is a big question mark. Reputable online dealers are around $570. My indy charged me $650 for the parts with 2yr warranty on both parts and labor. To me that's a better deal than buying online.

$4000 repair on a 6 yo car is just ridiculous.

Lets add to it...today i fire up the car and a nasty rattle and idling like shit. two coil packs need to be replaced. I am on my last leg with the fucking car $5000 worth of repairs in 2 months. Its going to be sold here soon, need reliability...not a car that breaks down every few weeks.
