What is it about for sale postings that the seller feels the need to talk about the coldness of the a/c? Since I've been looking for a used car, I see this all the time. Isn't it assumed? I more or less automatically pass on any postings that state "Ice cold a/c!" because I feel like if they have a list of attributes for a car and they decide to talk about the air being cold, they probably don't have many positives to list about their car/truck. It would be like saying "All four tires drive straight!" or "Both headlights shine bright!" Just odd to me how many people post about this feature.
No, it is not assumed. Most of olden used cars have AC that "just needs to be recharged", what means, comp is bad, freon leaks out the veyr moment you put it in and none of electronics works too.
Having functional AC is a plus. Maybe not in Alaska, but everywhere else - pretty much.
Ah dunno... I could care less about ac. I don't suffer through winter, just to want to be cold when the glorious heat returns. I mever use ac, so I never carw if it works or not. It's for the weak who haven't learned how wonderful the summer is.
It's especially a factor if buying a pre-1993 car, which used R12, instead of R134. R12 is very difficult to find (though a few plucky insiders claim otherwise!). For any pre-1993 car where the air conditioning doesn't blow "ice cold", consider the A/C system to just be extra weight and a drag on the crank pulley.
Usually “cold AC” to me means I just threw in a can of AC recharger before you got here. So expect to last a day to a week. I usually take this little hand held freon detector. It’s about $50 bucks for one.

You obviously don't live anywhere near me, where temps in excess of 115 degrees occur every summer.

What an odd thing to get annoyed about. Part of writing a good add is trying to find and list positive things about a vehicle.
I don't think there are too many out there who share your views that a car with ice cold air conditioning that drives straight would be a bad thing.

Nothing unusual about saying that, the seller simply wants you to know the ac works great. Just like saying it runs like new, or things like that.

These are nowhere near pre-1993 vehicles, lol.
