Skyline AirCon Problem...

[DCIEVE]

Gday people just looking for some advice on the import i am buying. It has arrived without aircon....no brackets, compressor nothing at all. Its all been removed, all that remains are some holes in the firewall. The importer has agreed to knock the price down by $500 and then when he has the parts(2nd hand) he will refit for the same price. What do ya's think, would it be possible to score all the parts needed out of a front cut....should i ask for more off the price or should i just take the extra money and do without the a/c seeing as i normally dont use it and the car will not be a daily driver. another issue i have is resale without a/c??

the car is R31 GTS RB20DET as pictured in avatar.

cheers in advance

regards, Nick

well, as for your resale question...i would never buy a car without aircon, even down here in coldville I couldn't live without it in summer. So yes, it might hurt the resale some.

it's your choice really, but if he's knocking the price down so the aircon doesn't cost you any extra than what u were expecting to pay, then i'd just do it!

Buying a car without the factory unit installed is a fitters nightmare? zTo get the correct parts and model can always be a head ache , $500 would hardly cover the replacement parts for re-installation and believe me , NO A?C , Crappy re-sale , no one wants half a car, and if you want good money then you need a complete car.

Take it from experience, cutting corners costs money

personally id be lookin at way more than $500 off man...air is a big thing these days and trust me.....i work at toyota and i help fit factory air in new cars sometimes and its a head f/ck man even when its made to go in after assembly of the car and its all totally new......id probably look at another car personally.......look at your options carefully.....
