I almost fell over when i heard this... I took my car in the '87 Honda Accord in to see about getting the A/C recharged, it dosent blow cold at all. They told be when i said what year it was that it was going to be provided that is the problem that it's going to be over $500.00 becuase it's an "R-12" and it uses the "old style" freon that the EPA deemed "unsafe for the enviroment." I could't believe it, i thought i would post it on here and see what others thoughts where. Because it just couldn't believe that this was possible. I got a reply on the same post on another forum saying they were b/s ing me... What you all think? [:I]

No bull, r12 production was banned a while ago as it was accused of eating the ozone layer.

so your choice now is to
a- buy Really Expensive r12 to refill an air conditioner that is old enough to vote (and maybe have it leak right back out in a matter of days).
b- pay a bunch of money (possibly more than the car is worth) ONCE to have your College-Aged AC retrofitted to use the New, Ozone-Friendly R-134a
