General Would you buy Punto without AC ?

And if you would buy a Punto without AC, how would you manage in summer ?

Youre not in a Cold and Damp island in the Nord See ...?

It took me @25 FIATS before I had working AC

Not really crucial in the UK

Handy for DRY air clearing windows.. but far from essential

Nope, these days I would never buy a car without AC.

A lot of people are of the same opinion therefore making non AC cars harder to sell.

Back in the 60's I remember a summer where 86F (30C) was recorded and this was seen as nearly incredible. Now we have had 43C and that casued me to spend out on an aircon for the house. A car without air con is probably worth a lot less these days and in last years teperatures almost unusable as well as verging on unsafe.

In the mid 90's I remember turning down a car with A/c as it was £180 more than the one I bought. I had a sunroof and it was a white car so stayed cooler anyway. Now I think a/c is highly desirable if not essential.

The difference in price with and without air con on an older car is not much, but saleability of the one without is now not great, so no, I wouldnt buy one without unless it was VERY cheap,

I suppose the queues of people clamouring to have their aircon regassed after 1 week of constant sunshine tells a tale

Here in Egypt AC is necessary our summers is high 30s sometime over 40s - no AC is a no GO.

Move to scotland, one the few days we do get for summer, you can always just open the windows.
