[Steppes] O/T - Advice on car repair

[Jann Mays]

The air conditioning has gone out on my '96 Nissan Minivan.  We think it needs a new air compressor and would like to know how much it would be if we (or someone else) were to have it repaired.  I priced air compressors for the year, make and model and the part could cost from $250 to $500.  

We are planning to sell it.  We have already bought a replacement vehicle.  The minivan is still a really good car with lots of really nice extras and would be great for a family vehicle (seats 7) or for toting camping gear to an event (bench seats fold down and one is removable).

We would still like to know the cost of repair so we can figure it into the price for selling, so if anyone could let us know how much a repair like this would cost, please email us.  

If anyone is interested in possibly buying our minivan, here are the stats :
