I didn't mention, it was a dealer in Reno, NV (about
400 miles away from me) selling the car, and not only
was the AC on the fritz, but the temp gauge and fuel
gauge weren't working.  They offered at first to fix
it all and pay for a one-way plane ticket back (I had
driven a rental car there), but rescinded at the last
minute the day before I was to fly up there to get my
car because working AC wasn't a requirement (it is if
you're a dealer in NV and you list it as optional
equipment).  That fiasco cost me nearly $100 and an
entire weeked, for which I got no compensation.

Likewise, the upside is still how much money I've
saved buying other stuff over the years.
