I got a quote today on a used AC compressor out of a 98 Contour with 60,000kms on it. With my return it will cost me $175 for the whole assembly. This will save me approx $550. I have decided I am going to have it installed on Friday with a new accumulator and O-rings. Total bill will still run me about 800 bones. Still not happy, but at least it will be fixed just in case I decide to keep the Mistake.
