My sister has a 2000 Yaris but wants to sell it and buy another one, exactly the same but with air con.
I told her that would be a waste of money so i was wondering if anyone knew of any aftermarket AC systems?
I think your suster has the right idea. Got to be cheaper and far far easier just to get a car with it fitted as standard.
Probably won't actually 'cost' very much at all.
Find a crashed Yaris and swap the bits?
good idea in theory bu you may find your missing the holes in the bulkhead
and won't you need to fit and air con radiator as well
From my experience, which is admittedly limited, you'll be looking at a significant dismantling job to get the new bits in and fed through into the cabin. I'd file it under "do it cos you want to do it" rather than "do it cos you want it done" if that makes sense.
Toyota used to sell aircon kits for various models - might be worth asking to see if they do a kit for that car - might cost less than the change to the other car?
If her yaris is in good nick and she can do without a car for a week or two, get her to sell her car privately and then buy a similar one with AC. On a 9 year old car, she might get one for the same price as she sells.
Just wind the window down a bit? or get a 7... AC was brilliant last weekend out over the moors in brum...
the holes are already there for the pipe work coming into the bulkhead. TBH is it worth the hassle as you will have to take the complete dash out
aswell as the main heater system! its not an easy job. als there the pipe work, pump and condesor under the bonnet.
Sell it. much easier except for the time waster! now they are hard work.
