air conditioner compressor replacement cost?
Hello! My 1987 Toyota Celica GT was making some noise, and took it into the shop. They said the air conditioner compressor needs to be replaced. $475 for the compressor (Toyota part), $184 for labor, and $155 for the reciever dryer part. Total with tax would be ~$1000. My car is a 2.0L engine, 92750 miles. The car last year had the steering pump and axle replaced for $2000. Is this a fair price for the air compressor replacement, or is it not worth replacing and time to sell the Celica? Just don't want a "new" "old" car that each year has costly repairs/updates. Suggestions?

Re: air conditioner compressor replacement cost?
That's probably a realistic and decent price assuming this is a brand new (not rebuilt) Toyota compressor.
And if you really like the car consider what a monthly payment for 60 months would be compared to $1000 per year or so a for repairs.

Re: air conditioner compressor replacement cost?
Thanks- I do like the car and after calming down realized, yeah, $1000 is less than a monthly car payment. Brand new by the way, they ordered it from the Toyota. Funny they said it was the best price after a lot of research.
