Hi folks. Looks like the a/c compressor on my newly acquired 1991 Brougham packed in just after a few hundred miles that I drove it. Now my local says it would be 700 bucks. Although the compressor on itself costs 250 refurb on eBay. He says I need the whole kit and caboodle with condenser and what not as well.
Do I? Can I not just have the compressor replaced?
Anyone know a good and reputable place to go to in NJ?
Yep, I saw and heard it come apart. Big noise and some smoke on way home. Was afraid this was something with the engine, but first instinct was switching off a/c, and that's what it was.
