Is Aircon worth it?

Postby bob10818 » Sat Feb 10, 2024 3:51 pm

Hi all

I'm planning to sell my baby (VIN 10818) soon and wonder whether it is worth making the A/C work. It was never converted from R12, but from what I read, they aren't much good on R134. Most Deloreans I've seen for sale don't have working A/C, so is it a worthwhile sales feature?

Absolutely it does add to the value
Any serious buyer would be interested

I've converted at last 10 cars from r12 to r134a and they now cold.

A working AC is a good selling point, but if you're unsure, sell it as a non working system and let the next owner just convert it.

The trouble is, if you put the modern synthetic oil into an original system that had mineral, it can coagulate, and is nicknamed as "black death"
