So I bought a 2008 Ford Mondeo here in WA last year. Unfortunately the aircon doesn't work, brought it to a local mechanics and it needs a new compressor :-( quote received was approximately $2,400 to replace with new compressor incl labour. It doesn't make sense to spend this on such an old car but with the current temperature hovering around 41C something has to give!
Looking to get people's thoughts on buying a secondhand compressor from ebay or gumtree? I realise there is no guarantee with this although one seller on Ebay gives a 12 month warranty. At this stage I haven't checked with any mechanics to see what the labour cost would be to install this, I know the place that quoted on the new one said they wouldn't be able to install a second hand one for me.
AliExpress?
