Is it worth it? by raygon

Hello! I recently bought a 99 300M with 231, 000 kms. on it. Body and engine are in very good condition. The only thing wrong is that the airconditioner does not work. The fan and heater works but it doesn't cool. The a/c compressor clutch does not even turn.
 
I brought it to an a/c shop and was told that they can try to vacuum out the system and load freon and charge me about $225, but there is no guaranty that it will cool down. The a/c technician even warned me that if it is a major damage or defect, it could cost me over $2,000 to fix it.
 
My question is, is it worth having it recharged for $225 and if at worst spend $2,000 for fixing the a/c? Is there a way I can find out what is wrong with the a/c without spending serious dollars? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Mark. Unfortunately, until now, no one has responded to my question/request for advise. I still don't know what is exactly wrong with it. The heater works well but not the airconditioning.

freon is not going to fix this
if compressor is locked - have you checked all fuses....check to see if power is going to compressor than if you need one get one at a junk yard for about 50 bux
you would still need freon .....and
if you want to recharge go to autozone or the like they have a kit for 29 bux
works just fine and very easy to do...just twist it on....if you have a cute girl go in they may do it for her...but seriously...dont waste time on freon if compressor is locked.

Thank you very much for your advise. Very much appreciate your taking the time to respond. I am not much of a handyman but I will certainly try your suggestion. How do you check if power is going to the compressor?

Won't Get Cold by adamcole83

I have a 1999 Chrysler 300M, one day I noticed a fog coming out of the vents when I had the AC on, then it felt like the car didn't want to give out cool air. It only happens when it is really warm outside. I look at the outside temp and it says a temp that is usually 10 degrees cooler than what it is. Like today it says 75 and it's really 84 out. When it's cooler than 70 outside then the AC is freezing cold. What could it be? I checked the freeon and it was full.
