I appreciatedeveryones input onthe civic I was trying to buy so I thought I would try again. The last guy soldhis civic before I got to look at it. So Im trying again.

Im now looking at a 1998, 5 speed,2dr Coupe with69,000 miles, power windows/locks, tape/am/fm, car alarm, etc. Car is in good condition.He wants $4200. There is no AC and never has been. My question to the board is can I haveAC installed in this caror not? I know in the old days if a car didnt come with AC you were hosed but is that the same with a Civic? I know I can buy a whole new system for around $600 but can it be put inor not?

Thanks!

 

Yea, honda sells an a/c kit. That's how people still got A/C in the lower models like DX. If you go to hondaautomotiveparts.com they have the kit. I've seen it for my Del Sol. It was like 500 bucks or something.

 

so if I buy the AC kit the car should come with everything else like switches, duct work etc.?

 

i'm not sure about this, but i think the car has the ducts in it already, just not the parts that actually make the air cooler. i.e. hoses, compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc.

 

That sounds like a good car, it had very low miles. And yeah its the base model dx, those dont have ac, but you can install it if you want.
